Default Hog Blaster versus Blaster Sidekick

Looking into purchasing air blower. Have used shop vac to blow down the bike for years. Let's have the pros and cons on these two units. Is there something else out there that is being used.

just buy a cheap leaf blower, works as good as anything... Nothing wrong with a shop vac either. I'd rather buy chrome and do engine mods then buy an expensive dryer but that's just me........

I'll second that! Why waste your money? A good shop vac on the blow side does a fantastic job and leaf blowers are my second choice.

Got the blaster sidekick after using a leaf blower for years. Unimpressed with capacity. I realize I am comparing the two and that is unfair but the blaster takes a while in comparison to the leafblower and doesnt do the job as good. Portability is its benefit but you still need and extension cord!
