I love the look of the rounded pucks on my CB1000R Black Edition, as they seem to add to the Neo Cafe look rather than stick out in an obvious way. The set I purchased actually replaced a previous set that worked perfectly in a recent crash. I hit a road obstacle that ended up with my bike falling pretty hard directly on the puck and sliding for a couple hundred feet. My bike’s frame actually bent, but the Evotech puck stayed put and was just ground down. Fortunately insurance covered a new factory frame, and I never had a doubt about what kind of protection was going back on the new one!
