Default anyone ever use these?

just curious if anyone has ever used these. i was going to get a pair but was worried that the hot fragments that come off could **** up my fairings.

Never seen em before, but they will not create enough heat to cause any damage. Almost like grinding a piece of metal the small fragments cool rapidly.

Seem a little cheesy, but you could do some cool evening pics with them i would suppose. As RCR stated i really dont think they would cause your bike any trouble at all.

I'd be worried about what these are made out of. Knee pucks are made out of plastic because it slides on the ground. Metal grabs the ground. While the effect would be pretty neat, I'd be more concerned about my safety.
