Smile Motorcycle Dryer

Anyone4 use the Blaster from motorcycledryer.com if so I am interested in what you think, at over $200 US it seems a bit pricey, found a real deal here in Canada- we have a store on the praries called PEAVEY MART, they sell lots of lower budget tools and farm and household items including some good stuff. I bought a vacuum-blower tonite for $ 79.00 Cdn that looks exactly the same as the Blaster, has a 3 HP continuous motor and comes with all the same accessories as the Blaster including a well made storage bag. It is made in China but really does work well and the price you just can't complain about that.

i felt it pricy as well....i think it is marketed to the upper side of the market...i have used a 20 dollar weedeater, modified the tube (made it shorter) to be more useable on a bike.
i also use my shop air with an extended air nozzle....

I would use the new Mr. Clean Autodry you don't need a dryer for much at all, no streaks or spots. These things really work well.

They sell a dryer at most of the events that is small, I have used it to get water out of the controls and hard to dry places but for the most part after starting with the MR. Clean I rarely use the dryer at all.

Here is a link to the homepage for the Mr. Clean Autodry

It works great, drys by itself, no towels, no air dry etc. Although on a bike there is a lot of places water can pool so I use a small blower I got at bike week.

The Mr. Clean works great, has a wet, soap and rinse setting. The rinse uses a filter to get rid of the hard deposits from well or hard city water. Down here we get spots ton's of them on the chrome and paint, used to spend hours cleaning up the spots from the wash.

No more.

You can get at Target, Kmart, Wally World etc.
