DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.........
Oven cleaner is not to be used to clean anything except a oven. That's why they call it OVEN cleaner. lol
 
Oven cleaner works great on chrome pipes - but be very careful of overspray.
I don't feel like a complete idiot for trying it, although with the benefit of hindsight......
If I ever use that stuff again on any part of my bike again I'll be giving the bike to TC.
 
Ouch!!! I feel your pain glad it was in an area that really does need a heat shield
 
Here's what it looks like now. The heat shield is the one I was using with the stock header so is a little short but will do for now. The pipe's still a bit dull but much better than it was.
Other thing I've done is have the mufflers leveled out a little so they don't sweep up so much. I like the line of them now much better.

Got to ask what may seem a drongo question.
Why the heat shield???

I am a cu*t hair from laying down on a set of these awesome pipes.
The way they look to tuck in so well, I was under the impression a heat shield would not be needed.
Any differences in the fit on a Roadster? Better - worse - same???
Please expound, Mate.
