It's only day two and I've already had my first idiot moment. My VTX has aftermarket grips, pretty nice ones at that, that the PO installed. The throttle side was a little loose so I took it off to re-glue it. I squeezed a little too hard and got two good size dollops on one of my pipes....and they were hot so it sizzled and dried right up. Anyone know of a good way to removed the glue without frackin up the chrome?

There are two or three approaches to this, I think. Most common is using Oven Cleaner. Another is wadded aluminum foil. There are others as well that have been discussed.

Hang loose and the "experts" will be on to help you out.

I would think glue would just dry up and crack off...

Use acetone - found in your wife's nail polish remover. Try a small spot first. It sould not hurt the chrome but

Razor Blade Scraper, just don't press hard. After most heavy stuff is off use some Turtle Wax Chrome cleaner to remove any remaining residue.

I have used the nail polish remover technique on grip glue...works good. I have also used WD-40 (fish oil) and it to worked.

yeah I think I might try the acetone or wd 40 before I go scraping, my heavy hand is what got me in this situation. I would hate to see the damage I would do pushing down on a razor too hard.

Try a brillo pad!!!It does a great job on rust and puts a real bright shine...
