The airshammy does look like a nice product, and is a lot less money.

I have the Cycle Dry and I've never seen sparks.  I have had to take it apart to adjust the brushes before and now I have found out that I can just hit it a few times to move the brushes back into place to get it working again.  Mine also came with the extra set of brushes.  I hope mine doesn't catch on fire.

The rubber nozzle on these seem to be prone to splitting where it mounts onto the unit.  I have mine duct taped now, since I can't remember where the extra 2 nozzles are that the dealer gave me.  They are probably with the extra brush set, that I can't find either.  At least my dealer knew that there was a problem with the nozzles splitting, so they ordered a bunch of them and they give you 2 extras when you buy a dryer.

I was told to use my craftsman wet dry vac.  There is a blower attachment for it. I have not tried it yet but plan to on my next washing. I know we have seen some of these posts before and I am not sure but I think this  brand has been posted before but my local H-D dealer uses one similar to this:

http://www.topoftheline.com/master-blaster-motorcycle-dryer.html

http://www.cherrybrook.com/index.cfm/a/catalog.prodshow/vid/422529/catid/205/vname/Metro_Blaster_Dryers

http://www.amazon.com/AIR-FORCE-BLASTER-DRYER-MASTER/dp/B000GVH98O

http://www.bikeremporium.com/Motorcycle_Dryers-Air_Force_Master_Blaster_Motorcycle_Dryer.html

Same products different dealers and prices.

My local dealership has on that they said sells for $500.00 and it is a red color not black as shown above.  Not sure if it is the same model or not but as some of these show you can use it to blow your pets dry, heck maybe it can be used on our beautiful rides too.

This is the one I had that caught fire:



I've used one of these Cycle Dryers for years and think they're great!
Light weight, lots of force to dry the entire bike and inexpensive to buy.

I just purchased my second one as the hose tore on the first after approximately 8 years of use.  Second one is still going strong and I expect it'll last for another 6 or 7 years... Pretty good for $39. :2vrolijk_21:

Just so you know the company stands behind their product.  I convinced a friend to purchase one and it broke after only a few months of use.  He got in touch with the company and they sent out a new one without even wanting the old one back.  He took the old one to an electrician friend who fixed it right up.  Now he has a new one and a spare.

Sorry to hear that you've had a problem with yours.

The hose on my tore also, and I just duct taped it.  I have a few extra hoses that the shop gave me when I showed them how the hose was tearing almost immediately, and I'm just trying to get as much life out of this hose before I put the next one on there.  I do often wonder how much better a heated blower would do, since I'm happy with how this one operates.

That little blower I bought for $35 at a rally has died. I'm on my way to Lowe's now. What is everyone using? To blow dry you bike, that is?
Good old fashion Air Compressor works just fine for me  ;)
