Heated Pipes with Easy-Off or Blue Job and elbow grease.

Try Bronze wool. It should work better than a penny. Check Home depot or one of those places. It will take it off.

Get the pipe warm, put oven cleaner in a cup use a brush to put it on the area. Let it sit for a few minutes use steel wool to work the cleaner. Rinse it off. With that much on the pipe you may have to do it a couple times.

My wife melts her sneaks on the pipe on every ride. Clean it off only when the pipe is covered.

Good luck

Samething happened to me twice. Had on a nice pair of suit pants, I was real eager to get out that day after work. I cranked the bike, went to backing it out of the garage...I get it out and I'm still sitting on the bike and I smell something burning. I look down on my left and my pants are just laying on the pipe. Im like F..K, then I look to the right and my right leg was on the pipe too. Pants of course were done and so were the pipes.

Then the next week I had my jacket hanging on the handlebar, bike was running, I see smoke, look up and the sleeve was dangling on the header pipe. Now, I got three burn marks on the pipes, 2 on the right and 1 on the left.

Oven cleaner worked for the most part, but never really got it all off from the pants. All of the jacket burn came off.

Long story to really say nothing, right.

Wife threw her northface over my ultra a few weekends back and yep melted right to the pipes with a big ugly burn. Used oven clean left it on overnight and the worked it with a Penny and 0000 SW took about an hour but looks brand new with no marks.

Agree, steel wool OK, but don't use any wool courser then #0000. #0000 or finer.

Had this happen on my old bike, used metal cleaner and simple green and lots of elbow grease. Taught me a lesson though...
OH YEAH, had the pipe warm as well when I started. Seemed to work better.
