I ride off-road standing. The gap between the frame and exhaust shield is wide enough for my pant leg to touch and melt.

Added cut off end from shield purchased online.

Now, I should be protected.

So that's what that stain on my pipe is...My riding suit is actually an MX suit that I got cheap and the pants are an acrylic type material.
 
My pants are a custom specified stretch Kevlar Schoeller made fabric. There must be components that melt at the pipe temperatures at that location. Say 700 to 800 F? Something that I want to prevent.
