Default super light SS brake rotors ~ 1.9 lbs

At the Indy dealer show this weekend I ran across a booth that had some rotors I hadn't seen before. I don't know anything about them except they are light. Personally I don't like the design or the name, but they are light. I'd really like to know if they work well. Anybody brave enough to buy some?

Here is some info on the product.

W8LESS BRAKE ROTORS are an advanced metal matrix composite design that offer 21st century technology. W8LESS BRAKE ROTORS weigh in at 1.90 pounds each and a standard stainless steel brake rotor weighs 4.90 pounds each. Upgrading your brake system with W8LESS ROTORS will produce a 60% weight reduction. Reduced rotor weight means less rotating mass for faster acceleration & deceleration. Less unsprung weight means a safer and smoother ride. W8LESS ROTORS combined with our recommended brake pads will provide a superior braking package that will STOP your motorcycle with less effort, resist fading & warpage resulting a longer service life, because of our patent pending advanced composite design. They don't rust either!

W8LESS ROTORS are 100% made in the U.S.A. and are D.O.T. Approved

Sizes: 11.500", 11.750", 12.600"
Carrier Fitments: Most Applications
Show Quality Finish: Chrome or Polished (the set there had a black carrier)

MSRP ROTOR: $319.95/each
MSRP BRAKE PADS: $39.95/qty.2

Do you have any online info for these? Or photos? I have been looking for a not so pricey "less weight" rotor option.

www.w8lessrotors.com - only a small image, but you get the idea. He told me they have carriers for Ducati.

I don't think I'd be that brave.
