Welcome!

Yes.

Some 0000 steel wool, applied gently to cold (or warm) chrome should do the trick. Follow with something like 409 cleaner and finish with the spray cleaner/polish.

If you are nervous about the steel wool, try it first on the bottom or inside of the pipes where it's hard to see.

They will be easier to remove after they have "cooked" for a while.

OTOH, you could just leave them.......as a badge of "character".

I wash my bike once a year.......whether it needs it or not !! :biggrin:
