When you get 'em cleaned up. Get a good quality chrome paste. Start the bike and put your hand on the mufflers. Let them heat up until you have to pull your hand off due to the heat. Shut off the bike and start rubbing on the chrome paste. Liberally apply and let it set for a few minutes then wipe off. The molecules in the metal expand with the heat absorbing the paste. Won't keep you from getting the marks on the pipes buy makes it a whiz to clean off with regular chrome polish.

I would be careful using oven cleaner - you could end up with a real mess on your hands.
I would also caution against using ANYTHING abrasive (ball of foil, penny, screw driver, etc). They can and will scratch your chrome.
Harley makes a pretty neat product called Boot Scuff Remover. It's cheap and works. Shake it up, put it on the dried-on boot/raingear/flip-flop/etc, and let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes. The chemicals soften the burnt-on plastic or rubber, and makes it MUCH easier to remove. Depending on how much you've melted on, you might have to repeat the application a second time. Then, once you're done, finish with your favorite chrome polish.
