Airforce 'Master Blaster' Motorcycle Dryer.
I have just purchased an Airforce Master Blaster model: MB-3CD motorcycle dryer. Does anyone have any suggestion on it's use on drying the bike? Any tricks to it? It has 2 toggle switches. 1 for just the blower and the 2nd for another blower and heat. I've used it once. It was extremely powerful. It even blew off the smallhose fitting as I was using it. I've noticed it has an awkward shape, which makes it difficult to maneuver around the bike. I am thinking of making up some sort of carry/backpack for it. It does work well though. It dried the bike off in no time at all. Any experiences are greatly appreciated. [sm=confused06.gif]

I have the smaller one with only one motor but it is the same shape. I've never found it to be a problem maneuvering it. I only have to change positions from the right side of the bike to the left. If I'm lazy, I just drag it around, but usually I pick it up and carry it to the other side.
That said, I think they do make a set of casters for it.

This is what it looks like for anyone who has never seen one. Like an old time vacuum cleaner.
I love the thing. I remove the tourpak and bags when I wash. After that, I remove the seat and side covers so I can blow all the water out of the tight spots. Having a thumb screw on the seat makes it fast.
I also like to put my bike up on my J&S so I can get under it to wash off all the road grime. S100 motorcycle wash really helps.
As far as moving the MB around, I haven't had too much trouble. I do know they make a wall bracket but I haven't had the need.

Most dealers are using these now. Gas powered leaf blowers do not blow "clean" air and you can end up blowing oil or moisture on your bike. They are also not as handy and you could end up accidentally hitting your bike and chipping the paint.

Once you leave your garage you are on your own. At least you will start out dry and clean. Kinda like me in the morning after my shower

True. I also try to ride down the road in only "filtered" air.

www.bikeremporium.com) + free shipping! It is "top notchquality", American made. It's so damn powerful!The only thing I would like to see them make for it is some sort of backpack strapping system. It's heavy and the hose is heavy and a bit long. Having bothhands free (except for holding the hose), would make it a sinch to maneuver around. I put 2 toggle switch covers over the switches. It is a nice touch. They even say 'fans' on them. I can foresee many years ofgood service with this new blower, most likely a lifetime. If you can swing the price, I definitely recommend getting one. Your ride will thank you for it. You won't be sorry. [sm=usa.gif]
