getting the crud off....
i have a question, it seems as if my boot may have rubbed up against my lower exhaust pipe down by the foot rests on the right side of my street glide. It left a mess. What is a safe way to clean this off?

I've used 0000 steel wool and chrome polish. \\; Keep the steel wool wet and gently go back and forth over the spot (s). \\; I read about this in the forum. I talked with a couple folks at our local repair places and they told me the same thing. \\; I've used it a few times on my bike and the wife's.

I have also read that Easy-Off oven cleaner does the trick as well. \\; Spray the pipes when they are cool, leave overnight, rinse off in the morning with a garden hose. \\; I read this tip on this board and in several magazines. \\;
Make sure you protect your bike from overspray. \\;

Use Easy Off oven cleaner, however, spray it on the spot while the pipe is HOT. Let it sit for a few minutes until it turns to a dry power, then wipe it off with a WET towel. Works every time. Then when bike is cool, you can polish back up again.
