RE: air force master blaster?
I use my compressor with a blower and nozzle attachment. For the same price you can get a good sized Craftsman set up that comes with the nozzle. Then you get the added bonus of being able to use it for other things. Most of the basic kits come with a tire inflation valve, if nothing else, you can do your own tire checks without having to head to a gas station.
Way too much money for a single use tool.

RE: air force master blaster?
I've got a similar (but better) type of dryer that utilizes two motors and 8 horsepower. I originally bought it for dog grooming, which I still use it for, in addition to bike duties. I love that thing. Even with both motors running, it still takes at least half an hour to dry my dog. I couldn't imagine trying to get the dog to sit there and get the same task accomplished with a leaf blower. The dog would end up deaf.
With that said, I really don't see much of a reason why you couldn't use a leaf blower on a bike. I doubt the air can be focused near as precisely, but eventually the end result will be the same. I wouldn't use an air compressor...unless you had means to filter out the moisture that accumulates in the tank.

RE: air force master blaster?
As far as the air compressor goes, when I drain the tank on mine, the water has what looks like rust from the inside of the tank in it. When I use air tools for extended periods of time, that water starts coming out of the tool I'm using. There's no way I'd want to spray rusty water on my Harley. Something to think about. A good filtration system would fix that, I suppose.

Technically, you should empty your tank after each use with the relief valve on the bottom to ensure no moisture build-up. That will keep your tank from rusting.
I have mine set at 120psig shooting through a 1/16 inch nozzle. Even if moisture were present, it would be atomized to the point of being a non-issue.

If moisture were a real issue, paint sprayers would not be very effective.
