Nasty fouled exhausts and holes in the cover, pants, should have payed the extra for a heatproof cover but....
Anyways what do i do to get rid of the burnt bits on the pipes? also i'd be interested how to get shoe off cans as well for future referance, i'm tempted to have the exhaust off to give it a propper cleaning!
Any good ideas for geting rid of cooked covers?

I didn't know what the smell was and i thought... oh nos! my bikes electrics are frying! so ignition off and cue me takeing the seat off and sniffing around, must have looked quite odd to the people in my girlfriends street Laughing then noticed the slightly less than great condition of the cover...
I don't have any gloves i fancy knackering, maybe a shammy leather thing will do as good?

Yeh I've got one of those melted bits, where the velcro bit for my sliders on my leathers met the exhaust.

If we are posting about stupid burning things, I burnt my trainer on my bike the other day. Only the corner bit, but it's noticable Embarassed
