#4311 clifdog (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 168 Drying Off A Bike 6 Years, 3 Months ago   After seeing these over price blow dryers for bikes in different catalogs and idea hit me. Those things are just small leaf blowers. I plugged up my blower after washing my bike off and gave it a good going over with the leaf blower (rated at 210mph) (at least on the label). It worked great leaving me with minimal water residue on the bike. It cut my drying time down to mere minutes and left me with some great results. Just wanted to pass this little tip along.

Best to use a new one as a used one has been known to throw 'bits' at the bike.

I guess great minds think alike. I have to admit this site is great. I check it almost everyday to learn new stuff. Thanks to everyone for making it such a great site.   Logged     4th Degree member of the Knights of Columbus Patriot Guard Rider Vivat Jesus!

I use a little compressor. My bike is like your's TMK, except Black Cherry. I was too cheap to shell out the 100 bucks for the saddle bag holders, so I made my own for about 25.00 out of steel. Learned the hard way, do not use aluminum.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
