The plastic piece on the right side next to the exhaust melted onto the mid-pipe. Anyone have ideas on the best way to get that off without trashing the pipe?

Try some of that goo off you can find it at the grocery store in there section for auto stuff. If that doesn't work get a box cutter razor blade and be very gentle and widdle away at it. Good Luck

Yeah pics please. What year bike and what kind of pipe are you running? Did you remove your heat shield, or is it lower than that?

I am just assuming but is it due to an aftermarket exhaust? I'm guessing that the heat from the exhaust did this. I have seen alot of people not use that plastic piece when using an aftermarket exhaust. My suggestion would be to use a heat gun to get it off. Try heating it evenly, get it hot but not too the point of melting. Basically I mean try to heat it up to remove it as one piece. You woulndn't want it to get too hot and become a mess. The razor knife suggestion is good but would just take a long time. If you go with heat and you have left over residue use the razor or steel brush maybe some sand paper. If it ruins the finish on the exhaust and your worried about looks use steel wool to even it back out.

i was going to suggest the same as nuclearr just besure to take of any fairings near where you are working so you don't melt those too. should be able to heat it up and wipe it off. carfull its hot!!!1

simple green and a scratchy pad, then take Nev-R-Dull to it, good as new.
