Towards the front thought maybe a belt or something was rubbing underneath and behind the handlebars was only when it was idling

Do you have an aftermarket headlight? Was your fan on at the time? There may have been debris or a spider on your exhaust that burned as out warmed up.

I'd pull the fuel tank up and inspect everything. While the engine is cool, check the exhaust from head to tip. Make sure you don't have any hoses touching. How certain are you that it is burning rubber? plastic, rubber, oil all obviously have different smells, but I'm just trying anything to help.

I wish I could help, but I've never melt this. You don't think it's debris on the header do you?

My bike definitely has a burning smell now. Its probably the clutch. I couldnt squeeze it barely cuz when its 28 out it feels like -28 at 80 mph. I think im done, wake me up when its spring.
