Posted April 23, 201213 yr Hi all, Appreciate that there are some very expensive Bike dryers out there and call me tight but wouldn't a half decent powered (2,000w) hair dryer be just as good at getting rid of water in the hard to reach areas? Of course I;m talking about the bike not my personal bits. Any other ideas or suggestions welcomed - my concern is with hidden water causing some potential rust issues. (Looking to apply ACF-50 on but read the bike has to be very clean and dry first!) ...or do I just wash and dry as best I can and stop worrying about it?
April 23, 201213 yr Moderator Bike - Clean!! Whats that about? Isn't that why God created rain?? Once a year to get the winter salt off does me.
