MJ Moto gear tire warmers

Anyone use em? They are for sale on eBay for 165$ shipped and I need warmers, but don't wanna coin out the $300 plus for chickenhawks or w/e.


Feedback helps, thanks!!

Just remember, you get what you pay for. They may look good and work, but only last for a season before burning up or falling apart at the seams. I don't know anything about them.

I have them, and have used them for a few years. My friend has the digital version. They are not the greatest, but they have held up and work fine for me. I usually let them cook the tires for 45 minutes to make sure they get hot and take it easy the first lap.
