Somehow the bolts became loose on my aftermarket slip-on. Anyway the can melted the side plastic piece and it looks pretty bad. Anyone with a similar experience and knows how to remove this burnt on plastic? Robert

Have you considered warming it up again and wiping with coarse cloth like a clean old potato bag? Can't hurt the situation. DC robert wrote:

The burnt plastic is polypropylene, for which there are no solvents that you would want to mess with. If you leave it alone, it will eventually melt and burn off to nothing but a stain, but it takes a while and it smells! I'd suggest running the bike to soften the plastic (or heat it with a Bernzomatic torch) and use a copper or brass brush or "Brillo" type pad - which is available in the kitchen cleaner section of many stores and use that to wipe the rest of it off.
