"Boot" Savers?!

I'm new here, posted a couple times, and usually search old posts, this time nothing satisfied me....

I just purchased the bike with a high mount Jaradine exhaust.

Question: Does anyone make, sell or have a procedure for putting a 'boot guard' around the exhaust pipe behind the rear sets?
Boots already have two good size heel melts. I like to switch up my foot position to have the peg on the 'Ball" of my foot. (cradle it between toe and ball joint, especially around corners.)
If I do that, my heel inevitably hits the exhaust pipe, and BOOM, instant stink.
Any solutions?

I find the stock heal guards to be inadaquate as well. I was considering ordering some CF stock and fabricating my own, but that takes time and effort, two things I always seem to be short of

Let me google that for you

sorry couldn't help myself.

As far as cleaning them, do it after a ride when they're hot. It comes off MUCH easier. Wad up a towel so you don't burn yourself and use some mothers or something similar.

Throw some heat wrap on them. That's what I did on mine and it works great! Search the site for heat wrap to find a few write ups on it.

Try Googling "Let me Google that for you".

I'd post the lmgtfy link for "Let me Google that for you", but that seems too cliché.
