I recomend that you keep your boots on the FOOT PEGS!!!!! Try Honda spray cleaner on them when they are cool!!! Ride Safe Ride Long

WD40 WILL DESOLVE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING PETROLEUM BASED. I have also heard of people useing oven cleaner.

Don't use a hammer and chisel, steel wool or sand paper.

M.E.K. or Denatured alcohol should easily do the trick. Just be careful as they are both fairly flammable and the MEK evaporates quickly.

mineral spirits or pb blaster or even brake cleaner...
 but i stress PIPES MUST BE COLD!   good luck

USE NEVR-DULL FROM EAGLE ONE. IT WORKS PERFECT, I USED IT ON MINE TO DO THE SAME THING. YOU CAN DO ALL THE CHROME ON YOUR BIKE AND MAKE IT LOOK BRAND NEW. YOU CAN GET IT A ALMOST ANY AUTOMOTIVE STORE IN THE WAX/ POLISH SECTION. IT COMES IN A SILVER AND BLACK CAN. HOPE THIS HELPS

i do have a couple of extra military grade cans of never dull if ya need to borrow one

Just be glad it is rubber off sole of boot and not skin off a leg. Skin is easy to get off, just smells like a Buck Rogers.

i can personally say that oven cleaner works well. warm the bike just enough to get the pipes warm- not hot! spray a little on the burnt rubber area. make sure you get none on the paint!!! i sprayed some on a rag and rubbed it on. let it set a few miutes and then wipe it off. worked great for me. good luck. BTW, i used easy-off brand.

Well I tried your suggestion but I kept falling over at red lights. 


I picked up some Never Dull since I was going to wally world anyways.  Had looked at it before but thought it looked like it was too dry in the can to do much good, I was wrong about that for sure. Worked great and shines like nobody's business, and a little bit goes a long way.

Thanks to all who responded!!

Yeah, as long as it doesn't change colors on me before I get there!!   I'll be on a bright blue metallic  (a bit purplish in some light) 1300R, windshield, saddle bags, sissy bar/ luggage rack.
