Lightweight cover

Image Image Image I wanted a lightweight cover for trips away, mainly to protect from heavy dew or dust if the bike was to be left outside. I must stress this is a lightweight cover that for me ticks all the boxes, it comes in a zipped packet but I have since used a small stuff sack as to try and fold it to the original size was very difficult. For the sum of £20 (from UK sportsbikeshop.com) I don't think this product from a well known manufacturer can be beaten. IMHO.
 
Meant can't be beaten, forgot to add there is a strap to secure the cover under the bike and provision to pass a security chain through the cover and front wheel.
 
Hi Robert, those headers get real hot, make sure you give them plenty of time to cool down before you cover it. I manged to melt some of the lining from my cover on to them because I forgot to check how hot they were and so far haven't found a way to get it off, doh!
 
Ezyoff oven cleaner. Spray on the headers when warm to very warm, allow to cool then wipe off with a wet sponge. Worked for me with a melted jacket.

Thanks Caliman, will give it a go tomorrow.

Tried oven cleaner and a few other methods without success after googling the problem. A couple of videos on google said to use the edge of an old copper coin the theory being copper is softer than chrome. I just happened to have an old 1914 penny laying around (knew it would come in handy one day) so with nothing to loose I scraped gently away, low and behold it worked, nice shiny headers again.
