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.

Also for a lower price blower, there's always this one from J&P cycles for $42.

Still too much $$$ ?

Try one of these

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.

Call me cheap but I wash my bike with pumped well water. Then I use my electric leaf blower to dry off. My paint is nice and shiny and it is 20 year old OEM. Fossil

I have a Air Shammy that has not been a very good investment. I have figured out that the motor comes loose inside and doesn't seal inside and thus looses its air volume and pressure. I have it set up now that I can open it up and remount the motor and it works fine after. The first unit I sent back under warranty and then the new unit screwed up and I couldn't contact Air Shammy which leads me to think they went under

Hobbit, that is way to cool dude. We go from "bubble boy" to "bubble bike" The only place I've seen this is at Home Depot's Christmas display "Madd Biker" inflatible. U da man Hobbit, U da Man. Does it help with anything other than drying the bike?
