waterproofs melted on exhaust !!!
#11
My question is how to keep my Frogg Toggs from melting on the exhaust. I am on my second pair, 1st pair on my sportster before the trade-in deal, they layed on it and melted, 2nd pair yesterday on my Super-Glide-Custom and I made sure and left the pants leg below my heal before putting on my shoes to make sure they would stay down and I kept looking every so often and everything looked fine until I got home and my pants leg had a hole melted thru and my shield was covered with the melted pants leg. I don't get it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Has anyone bought any slip on waterproofs that don't melt I know Harley make a pair that come with a heat resistant panel on the right leg to protect the legging but does anyone else make these

Good luck if you use the oven cleaner tape off everything around it. The spray will put spots on any paint it gets on. I had nylon melt on my exhaust from a set of Tourmaster pants. I tried heating them up, them wiping with a rag, goo gone, WD 40 and the magic erasers. All I could do was make it a little less blacker. I make a lot of minor scratches on the exhaust while doing it. Boot marks apparently come off a lot easier than nylon. Harley boots I notice don't easily leave marks

Another option is to look at a set of boot gaiters. They slip on over your boots and pant leg. Most versions of them have a high temp panel on the inner side of the right gaiter. I use HD's set with my low-buck rain gear and haven't burnt them yet.
