If you scratch the chrome, it can be polished out with Glare Polish. I couldn't find my semichrome and tried it and it worked !  Doc

Wrong. This was discussed in another thread.

Now that's interesting!  I put my vest over my seat and the nylon liner melted to my rear header.  It set up real hard and oven cleaner did nothing.  I'm SO tempted to use an abrasive but I'd rather try this 1st, then a 000 SOS.  Thanks for the tips guys!

Get it hot so the nylon starts cooking again, soak a cotton, real cotton) towel in water then quick wipe it a few times, it'll get most of the melty stuff off and make the ovenr cleaners job easier.  Do not spray oven cleaner directly or be prepared for the "Hogasm". 

Spray onto a cloth pointed away from the bike.

Got the "Road Rub" today.  Works great.  Easily removed weeks old GF's boot burn from the pipes.  $4.88 plus $5.95 shipping from Classic Motoring Accessories in Tampa, FL.  Great stuff!

EZ Off oven cleaner. I did it with the pipes COLD and let it sit for 2 hours. Then take a wet rag and wipe down. It may take 1 or 2 times but it works.

Still...........0000steel wool.......SOS/Brillo pad.....followed with MAAS or Simichrome.  Easy Off only if you have to.

I got some stuff at Wal Mart called Rowenta Iron Cleaner.  This stuff works great.  It comes with the paste, a terry cloth towel to apply it, and a finer towel to buff it clean.  Ride the bike and get the pipes hot, then apply the cleaner with the terry towel and polish with the other towel.  Took off a bunch of baked on gunk in mere seconds, and without any abrasives or having to worry about caustic oven cleaner overspray, etc.  Polished up good as new, with no steel wool or abrasives.
