Ok,

110 miles in and I was wiping off the seat. Until I look down and my micro cloth was dissolving in my new pipes.

I have tried the normal stuff. (0000 pad, goo gone, etc...I am just not making headway.

I might be taking a stupid pill however someone give me a better way before I lose my mind! I have never had something I could get off my pipes before! I don't want to scratch them so...help!

Try Paint Thinner.

Obviously once the pipes are cool.

 

[Steve Mardis]

Yea...that is my next step...thanks!

I think you'll need something more aggressive. Try ZipStrip paint remover. I've used it on bumper stickers with success and it didn't hurt the chrome. Don't get ZipStrip on any painted surfaces for obvious reasons! Good Luck.

I have read that Easy-Off oven cleaner was great for getting stuff off pipes.

Over the years, I have successfully used final wash (available from auto paint suppliers and safe for most paints), aircraft paint stripper (Google it) and oven cleaner. Be careful with the flammable stuff!

I take it off the way it got on. Propane torch and gentle rub with flannel cloth

 

[Steve Mardis]

Wow...paint remover took 99.9% off but it took forever. Wow lessen learned on a micro fiber cloth around the hot pipes! Thanks for all the help everyone.

I was gonna suggest an angle grinder, but you'd need a feather touch....

I have had a little luck removing burnt on rubber from my chrome pipes with a razor blade at the right angle it came off cleaned up with wd40 & steel wool

Its no thrill ; I have boot melt and the sleeve from my green jacket to get off. Gonna look at the heat shield from the guy called Captain Itch.com to cover part of the pipe and block some heat.

 

[driver10]

U could try nail polish remover and a cotton ball

Just got mine in yesterday, the color couldn't be further off if ya tried. [URL=http://s1152.photobucket.com/user/scotwoodfordspioneerscot/media/009_zpsa29d684c.jpg.html][/URL] The product looks very high quality and very well made, but the color is so far off, I'm unwilling to use it. I am trying to contact them to get it resolved, and in all fairness have not spoken with them yet, so I will report as to what the resolution is, as it's not the problems in life, it's the solutions that count.

Follow up, I just talked with Isabelle ( very nice lady ) they are not going to be able to match the road masters, but will trade me for black, and no cost to me ! Wow, great customer service. They will be changing the website to note this issue.

just great ; I wanted one of those. Had my 500 mi service today and ordered a backrest. Wondering if Indians seat supplier could sell the leather piece big enough to make one. Orrrr could that one be dyed darker ; just pondering !

 

[indiangord]

Try Paint Thinner.

Try WD 40 it might work

Well, Isabel at Captain itch, says they probably wont be able to match the color of the road masters, as maybe there not leather but painted synthetic. Not sure on this, I know Indian sells it as leather, but is it ? I'm sure it could be dyed, but She is just going to swap it for black, with black lacing, which should be fine, since it's by the motor.
