I tried the Easy Off. The pipes came out great. However, I did not think to cover the black metal behind the pipes. Now, they have a white buildup that I cannot seam to wash off. Any thoughts of how to resolved this?

Thanks.

It probably took off a little of the top surface of the paint(black). they do make a product that is suppose to re-black an engine cant think of the name right now. its in the catalogs, dennis kirk, etc.

Don't take my feet off the highway pegs unless I'm shifting.

Bdog, I'm sure there will be quiet a few of us looking for a heal guard for the rights side, you could probably make quiet a few the those of us who need them. Any other ideas, $60 seem like a lot for such a small part.
