If you have leather bags you need to be real careful with the high pressure wash. It'll cut the leather if you hit it too hard.[:@]

If you use a low pressure wash and rinse, you should be OK. It cracked me up when I bought my new 08 RK they tried to convice me to buy a "Harley Davidson Electric Dryer" Oh Puleeeez.
I used a dryer and I thought it was great. You can also use your leaf blower though.
