How would one remove burnt plastic off the exhaust? I was loading a bag into my saddlebags and they touched my Cobra Swepts. Its not all over the place, but just enough to piss a person off.

Try WD-40 on cold pipes. WD usually will break down plastic. Follow up with rubbing alcohol to remove WD

Windex will work after the WD-40

Hot pipes, then wipe. Or Easyoff oven cleaner on hot pipes.

No problem. Didn't mean to yell!

My cover has hit the hot pipes on occasion and left a melted residue. I find the best (and easiest) way is to heat up the pipes just by going for a quick spin and simply wipe off the crap with a rag in one swipe. I have the black Cobra Swepts, and I assume they are ceramic coated, but it may just be high temp paint. I don't know for sure. I tried "Goo Gone" (made from oranges) on the COLD stock black pipes and it mostly worked with a lot of elbow grease, but turned the flat finish shiny. Which actually looked good, if the whole thing was shiny not just a little patch.
