Dammit!

Somewhere I saw a metal guard that fits over the exhaust pipe leading to the can to prevent burns and/or in my case, things contacting the pipe and melting. While putting down my centerstand, my shoe bottom hit the pipe and melted some rubber on there. Does anyone know where I can find such a farkle item?

I have a pair of these Cobra Heat Shields.....and underneath one is the remnants of an old pair of boots.

I just installed heat shields I purchased on ebay. Fit and look good too. I put them on to help protect my grandson when he insists on climbing up in the seat when I get home.

Nice, guys.

I'm wondering if I can mod one of these parts to work

short hijack... since you don't have the can-guards, yet...

in the mean time you might want to clean that shoe goo off. Heat pipes up & spray Easy-Off oven cleaner (or some other brand) on there & wipe. Shoe goo comes right off.

Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Yep - the Easy Off works good - I believe the "new" version requires the surface to be cool - not hot...

Yelling here - DO NOT USE IT ON PAINTED SURFACES!!!!

Another good product if you can find it is called "Nevr Dull" (as it is spelled on can). It is a cotton wadding that is impregnated with a cleaning compound that works great on all metals and does not scratch the surface. I have been using this stuff since I was a nub on submarines and it works great. Of course, let the pipes cool first.

When I first bought my bike, the guy that I bought it from pointed out that his wife's shoes had left behind melt spots. I brought the bike home, used the Nevr Dull and you can't even tell that anything was there.

GM Bug & Tar Remover. Found at your local GM dealer this stuff works great and lasts a long time. I also use it to strip wax off paint if doing a claybar job and new wax. Your paint will look like you won't believe and so will your chrome. Take care, PM. <><

"Nevr Dull and Brass" (thinking back to a hundred years or so ago...)

A guy over at the FZ1 forum is looking to form a group buy for these:https://www.speedzoneahead.com/fjrexhaustshields.htm

If so, I will post in the group buy section.

Try Wentzels (perhaps Wetzels) metal polish. Not sure where exactly to find it, I haven't bought it in years. Get the pipe good and hot, then a bit of elbow grease (with a heavey welding glove on) and presto, rubber all gone.

I tried some easy off - worked great!
