I have Oggy Knobs on my 6th gen. I haven't had to test them yet like you did (bummer!), Cmac, so thanks for sharing your results. It's good to know the brackets hold up in a slide. The Promotomelb.com site seems to be down for repairs right now, but ordering by email and Paypal works just fine. Their price is right, as most other vendors were asking $450 for a set!
If anyone wants to buy these, here are my emails to Frank at Promoto:

Hi John.
We do ship to the US. I cannot directly accept a credit card payment, but I can issue you a Paypal invoice if you supply your details.
OK549 no cut frame sliders kit sells for AUD$249. The shipping weight of OK549 is 3.5kg.
There are three Australia Post freight options-
ECI (Express Courier International) 2-4 business days AUD$134.65
EPI (Express Post International) 3-7 business days AUD$88.25
AM (Air Mail) 3-10 business days AUD$82.50
More information regarding these services is available at www.auspost.comau
There is one small modification required to fit the kit on US/Canadian models. An emissions valve on the right hand side needs to be modified so that it uses one mounting bolt instead of two. It is a very simple thing to do.
If you would like to proceed with a purchase, please let me know via return email including which freight option you prefer, and I shall forward you the Paypal invoice.
Thanks,
Frank Hajdu.

I ended up swapping the pucks for black R&G aeros when I changed my fairings.
