try the metro blaster sidekick great dryer for the bike ,takes about 10 minutes and leaves no spots(I have a black bike). BUY.COM has it for $66 no tax, free shipping
Found one at WalMart. Looks identical to the Metro and was only 99.00. Box was opened and ripped apatr and talked to manager into giving me 15% off so I paid like 88.00 for it with tax. Definitely worth it compared to the blower that I used to use.
All funnin aside, I got a leafblower free at a garage sale cause it didnt work. Pulled the inop safety switch and now I have a bike dryer. Works as good as the neighbors $195 fancy one.
used a leaf blower for years and it worked fine...I figured it was just a matter of time before I hit the tank with the hard plastic tip so I did get a motorcycle dryer with a soft rubber end. I think it was around 49 bucks though.
Had the same problem with my electric Troy-Bilt blower. Took a piece of inner tube and stretched over the end. Got a nice flexible rubber tip on there now.
