Motorcycle Blow Dryer

I have this unit and I've never seen anything like it. It blows warm air almost to warm to the touch after running for about a minute and is so powerful, that if you drop the hose, it runs away like a high pressure air hose would. One thing here, If you buy one of these units, get the regular 4 HP vacuum unit, not the blow drier as the difference is with the blow drier, you get a longer hose (not necessary) and no end cap to make it into a vacuum if you need it. The vacuum model comes with a 6 foot hose and is everything the blower is plus!

A very good investment, the heated air dries the hard to reach places so no corrosion will start.

Metro Air Force Blaster Motorcycle Dryer: B3-CD

My blower is model VNB-73 / 11/25 amps / 4 peak HP but I have had it for a long time and it is orange. I suppose the model number is still the same but they are black now.

I believe this model may have be replaced by this one below from CCC. Maybe give them a call to verify it.

Here's another option for a blow drier at a lower price. I have never seen or used one of these but they are a 3 HP motor as compared to the one above that is a 4 HP motor for a substantially lower price of $139.99. This company sells a quality product.

I bought one of these Metro Air Force Blasters and it came with long hose and a bunch of attachments. It is 4 hp model but is just a blower and the warm filtered air dries bike really well and gets into all the small places leaf blower would never get into. ALSO, and this is a big plus, my neighbor came out while I was drying bike off and thanked me for not using the extremely noisy leaf blower that I used to use at 8 AM on a Saturday morning. This is much quieter and definately more effective. Well worth the money. "My local harley shop tried to sell me the pint sized portable version of this one for the same price that I paid for this full sized one. (and it didn't even have a bar and shield on it)

Hard to beat the 4 HP metro unit. I have that one and wouldn't sell it for twice the price.

Now THAT is a class act!!!!

If I had one of those, I'd put my bike in the living room.

I have hard water, lotsa minerals and stuff, and was wondering if this would work well with that. If I dont towel dry the thing immediately, it will be covered with white spots.

Sure would work, you can literally blow it dry and leave no spots at all. Been using the top one above for years.

I have the "Air Blaster Side Kick" its fantastic...and maybe a little slower to dry the Bike but still for 79 dollars great investment...also has the heated and filter air.

This is the same one I have and it works great, a tip if you are thinking of getting an airforce blaster check out getting them from a place that sells them for pets. I got mine from a pet supply place online 10 bucks cheaper with free shipping than from a cycle place, they are made by the same company.

Good info. Also google the Metro blower, there's as much as $30-$40 difference from different places. I've seen them from $179-$249 from different places.
