Default RE: Motorcycle dryers?????

After trying shop vacs, leaf blowers, and my neighbors Master Blaster, I own a Master Blaster. It is simply the best unit I've ever seen. I bought the one with two motors. Google it and you'll find a wide range of prices - I got mine from an online pet/livestock supply. See http://www.dog.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=1...srccode=FR0401

I HATE washing vehicles - but I like a clean one! The dryer takes out the worst part, and I find myself enjoying using it because it is truly a fine tool.

It is worth 10x the cost of a cheapie leaf blower from Wally World? To me, absolutely. It gets our bikes dryer than anything else I've seen, and does it faster and far cleaner than any other method. Maybe that's why the HD dealer uses one.....

Leafblower, shop vac, or fancy cycle dryer. Any of those 3 are better than towel drying. Towel drying is an invite for swirling and fine scratches.

I have the single fan unit and it is powerfull enough that if you drop the hose on the floor while it's running, it squirms around like a compressed air hose out of control, I can imagine what the twin fan that you have does. Thing I like about it is the heat it generates from the motor in the unit, dries things up in a hurry, something a leaf blower can't do.
I wouldn't give mine up for twice what I paid for it!

I've used a leaf blower for years with no problem.

This is what I use -

Works great, soft nozzle, fairly quiet, and you won't stink like exhaust from the gas blowers.

Ever try a Master Blaster? After all, I rode Hondas for years and never had a problem..... The difference is amazing.

We bought a cycle dryer when the wife got her bike so I didn't spend all day washing and drying the bikes, I think it was 29.99 a buddy of mine saw it and went to Big Lots and found one just like it for 9.99 but its black and its just like it so I went and got two of them as back ups.
