Ya that’s brown rice falling out. These bags were supposedly designed for sport bikes with upright facing exhausts and apparently are specially lined to be heat resistant and able to sit in front of the exhaust.
Came home from a grocery run to find that my frozen salmon fillets were fully thawed, my sweet potatoes transformed into baked potatoes, my cinnamon sticks became charcoal, and my rice bag melted 🙃
I’ve done groceries maybe a dozen times with these bags without issue but I guess the bag got a little too close to the exhaust. I spent all day today scraping dried molten plastic off my exhaust pipes and trying to pull rice out of my exhaust baffles (only got 2 grains out 😣).


Matte black still looks great in my opinion!
And Yep! Hopefully links are allowed but these are what I got

Seeing one of the reviews did remind me you’ll need someone with a 3d printer. The plastic spacer bit the bracket came with may as well have been made from tissue paper, but after printing new spacers they’ve been rock solid for me.
Oh excellent! I have a nice 3D printer so not a problem here. Thanks for the links and info!
For sure! Keep the rubber side down amigo. The Honda 500s are phenomenal bikes, definitely sucks about the melted bag though lol.
