I have a compressor, and use a head blower (he he he..I said head blower! lol) to dry my ride up. Works wonderfully!

I have a shop-vac that the top part comes off and you put the extension on and its a leaf blower. I think its rated at 200 mph. Does a really good job.

funny .... All I can think about here is bill murray's character from caddyshack cleaning his room.
this is just a joke I am not insulting anyone as i believe the blower is a good idea.
I don't actually blow my bike (I'll leave that to you all) I use a spot free rinse.

I don't know what the difference is between drying a Softtail and a Dyna, but I use the leaf blower on my Softtail. I imagine it would work fine on a Dyna, but not making any guarantees Yeah, I know, always a smartazz in the crowd. Sorry.
