Bonehead Move
I came home from a ride and no sooner did I park my bike, my wife picked up my HD motorcycle cover (non-abrasive polyester, indoor cover)off the floor and drapped it over the seat of my bike.You guessed it....it stuck right to the exhaust pipes. I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off I am. I pulled it off and a few pieces of the material melted to the exhaust. Does anyone have any ideas how I can remove it from the exhaust?I haven't tried anything yet becauseI wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. Thanks.

If you use oven cleaner, spray it on a rag, then wipe it on the pipes. If you spray it directly on the bike, any overspray will damage paint and the black parts of your engine.

I've used blue majic chrome cleaner. You have to rub the heck out of it but it works.
