if you read the magnetic mount thread, one guy was able to slide the magnets behind the bumper without removing the bumper. but then, they weren't secured in place.
It does seem to be a good solution. I think it is either: OEM mount as usual, or your magnet thing. I see how the skene is kind of cool, but would cut in on one light push. Those magnets hold it straight, no tilt at higher speeds? If i was planning on going super speeds, I would simply take it off I guess.
