I've got a nice size compressor in the garage. Just use it with the blow gun attachment.

I use a cleaner from CleanCycle that does great with very little spotting, but still use a leaf blower to dry both my bikes. Works great. BTW Cleancycle makes a metal polish that works great on chrome and aluminum. check them out, their products work

I always thought the extra bonus with the expensive MC specific blowers was/is that they blow hot air. i find that while a leaf blower generally works, I find myself 'chasing' water off the bike. I'm wondering if blowing together with evaporation from the hot air wouldn't be a little more efficient...

Yep... I use a $40 leaf blower.

I just saw the MoCo has a fancy new "HOG Blaster" dryer for $120... no thanks... leaf blower works fine. I think the only benefit to these special dryers is the filtered, warm air.

I use the Metro Air Force Master Blaster dryer on mine. The air is heated and does a great job. I do prefer riding to washing/cleaning though.
