I use the airforce blaster as well. Works great and has a nice rubber nozzle. The air does get warm. It does not have a heater but the compressor action does heat the air. After a few minutes it's pretty warm. I bought mine at JC Whitney. I can wash the bike and have it back in the garage in 20 mins now.

 

I use my Stihl (model 55) leaf blower. It does seem to heat up the air. I don't know if that is from the motor heat or the compression. I bought it to use to clean off the pool deck etc. but it works great on the bike. It is their lightest, smallest model. I don't think any kind of filter is necessary. I mean unless the air you are blowing is full of large particles of something. Think about the stuff you ride through all the time going down the road!

 

I use a leaf blower as well.....works pretty good

 

Ditto ...

 

I use the leaf blower also the cycle dry has a rubber nozzle in case you get to close. The air is hot because the motor is cooled by the air rushing in and being exhausted.

 

I use the blower from my wet/dry vac. It works great to get most of the water off. After that, a quick wipe down with a microfiber chamois. All done! I personally can't see spending $200 buck on "hot air". I could use that money for another piece of chrome!!

 

Sears shop vac.use the exhust end.works great

Dang, I have been researching on the net some of these leaf blowers and someput out150 to 220 mph blowing power for only $70 to $130! Thats as muchblowing power as these bike blowers are putting out but they want $200 plus dollars...........

 

Well I went out today and bought a TORO electric blower/mulcher for $59 on sale at Lowe's. This thing has 2 speeds. Low blows about 110mph and Hight blows 230 mph! I wrapped some duct tape around the end of the tube to protect the paint should I ever hit the bike.

 

Bucs your just getting old. Well I guess I am too. Been using my Stihl(55) leaf blower for a long time.
