Default Dust

Quick question on the best way (besides washing) to clean off dust. I got dusted out today on the Army Base where i am stationed. It gets hot and dry here and tracks make alot of dust on the tank trails. I want to do something that i can use to wipe off the bike and keep the dust down if this happens while im at work or when i just get home from one of the long days. Any ideas? Thanks

I have one of those California dusters, the small one. I use it sometimes. It helps but it doesn't replace a wash job.

I agree with the above suggestions. Use both myself but eventually, you gotta wash it.

California duster here too. The dirtier it gets the better it works.

Another vote for the small California Duster. Just like you I get a lot of dust on the bike due to where I work. Keep it in one of the bags and give her a quick wipe off before I leave.
