Default Do you want symmetry?

I've seen these on fleabay and think that they're quite a good idea but I kind of like the asymmetrical look.

BMW S1000RR 2010-2011 TWIN HEADLIGHT PROTECTOR on eBay (end time 18-Mar-11 22:48:06 GMT)


BTW, I have no connection to the product or the vendor. I just saw it and thought I'd share.

I say .uck symmetry. You need to accept the bike as it is. It is the worlds best handling bike with asymetrical design. Lovely.

I love how the bike looks and I'm not into headlight covers either but I know some people have been looking for stickers or suchlike to make the full beam look like the dipped side.
I think that these covers make it look like the R6 from the front. I prefer it looking like the S1000RR!

I saw those...and realized that symmetrical lights just don't "work" with the S1000RR. If anything, both headlights should be like the small hi-beam.

At this point though, I think we're all well over the shock of the mismatched headlights and now accept it as part of the bike's styling. Seeing symmetry...it just doesn't work. It does cheapen the look of the bike down to the level of an R6.
