Leaf blower with long skinny vacuum cleaner attachment duct tapped to the end. I got the leaf blower out of my Father's garage after he passed away 7 years ago to me it is price less.

I've had one for a couple of years and have been totally happy with it. I use along with the spot free rinse and does a great job of not leaving spots.

$29.95 leaf blower from Walmart.
It can throx particles into the bike at 100 mph plus... High pressure air can drive water into places it normally would not go.

Try this place for dog dryers. Same as sold through bike shops..

I bought the one at Harley for $100. Works great. Nice piece of gear to have. I think it'll save some rust on my bolts and nooks and crannies.

I've been using a Master Blaster for about 4 years. Not perfect, but pretty good.

Just had my wife add one to her dog "stuff" order. the Air Force with 1.3hp. Can dry the bike in a couple minutes now without touching a towel. Do use the towel to touch up the chrome but a very worthy purchase. has enough force to blow crap out of the garage from the back wall to the door too Actually used it to blow the grass off the driveway after mowing the other night. Was too lazy to go to the shed and get the leaf blower out. Air does come out warm so the doggies don't freeze. Can't hurt drying the bike with warmer air too.

If your mind is made up then OK,
I use a leaf blower!!!
Take a coffee can and cut the bottom out.
Use radiator clamp and rubber band on the leaf blower intake.
The rubber band is designed to be a gasket so you will get a good seal.
On the other end, use a clean terri cloth towel as a filter, held on with a couple of good rubber bands.
Blow clean the area you will dry your bike first to prevent dust on your wet bike.
Fire up the leaf blower!!!
Bike will dry in a few minutes. Go over the bike with a micro fiber cloth with a little detailer wax and you are in business.
If you already have a leaf blower, this little trick will cost you about 2 bucks!!
I get a spotless bike each and every time.
