RE: Motorcycle dryer
If you go the leaf blower route, get an electric one. I got a gas powered one and it slings little drops on oil on the bike sometimes. A friend of mine had a hedgehog (or something like that) that blew over 200mph and was under $50.

I have a $39.00 Cycle Dryer that looks like a very small leaf blower. It works very well and is inexpensive.

RE: Motorcycle dryer
The Mr clean auto dry is nice but you should still blow out the crevices or take it for a ride. I've also found that I had to replace the Mr Clean filters often due to poor water quality, and they're kind of pricey if you have to replace them every other time. Reverse my shop vac hose and lots of microfibre towels. If you get microfibre towels don't use fabric softener. They won't absorb.

I have been using an air compressor to dry my bike. Some say this is not a good idea. Haven't had a problem yet though. What is the BEST air dryer out there and what is a good price? Thanks for everyones input.

I saw some air dryers in J&P but cost $199up.

RE: Motorcycle dryer
Hate to chime in, but I use a leaf blower as well. One bit of advice---make sure the air is clean (do not use it on a dirt road) to avoid blowing contaminants on the bike as most (all?) do not use a filter.
