RE: dirty pipes
Easiest way is to just get the pipes hot and scrape it off with your thumbnail....CAREFULLY..... Then use a little Flitz metal polish (after pipes cool down). I have used this method several times with no scratching or dulling... Yes, you may burn your thumb...... But I never have

you burnt your foot on the muffler? I can rest my foot on it and ive never had my boot melt. in fact mine dont seem to get that hot, i can rest my skin on it for awhile before i start to feel it.
easy off oven cleaner, it just sounds like it will do exactly what you need it to.

RE: dirty pipes
The simple green and steel wool will work, just make sure its 0000 gauge so it wont scratch the chrome.

i have tried that, can't heat it and scrape it off, it's like it is now part of the pipe, lol
I tried the oven cleaner would not work

RE: dirty pipes
If your pipes dont get hot you should take it to MOCO and let them study it, since its the only Harley in the world like that it should be worth a lot of money.

hours. i actually just got back a few minutes ago and got off the wrong side of the bike and had my leg resting on the pipe for a bit before i noticed. got off the wrong side becuase a car pulled in too close to my left. thought i would clarify so i dont get crap about it hahahaha
