Heat up the pipes and spray Easy Off oven cleaner on the affected area. Wipe with paper towel. Comes right off with no scratches.

Seeing as how this limited sits higher than my 08 Electra Glide and i haven't come close to hitting a floorboard, i dont think its a real concern.

I tipped mine over on that side and the result was a slightly bent heal guard that could easily be bent back into position by hand. No damage to the exhaust at all. A little expensive for such a small piece of chrome but I highly recommend the product!!

Not a razor knife, use a single sided razor blade with the flat thick metal part for your fingers to hold on it (you know the kind) GENTLY scrape, comes right off, NO scratches. Try it, you will see.

I like the looks, and the concept. However, after putting close to 50,000 miles on my two Road Kings, I've never once had to clean boot marks off the pipes. Ya'll must have big feet!
