Default Angel Eyes for S1000RR

Does anyone know of any company that makes "angel eyes" for the S1000RR? I have been trying since last year to find some for my bike. It's kind of ironic that you can easliy find angel eyes for practically any Japanese sport bike and none for the S1000RR and "angel eyes is a BMW patent and invention.

Perhaps its because most BMW riders have decent taste?

So what you are saying is that a BMW invention from German engineering on a BMW, is not good taste.

If you trade the S1000 for a K16, you'll have angel eyes. I don't think they would suit the S1000 anyway with the asymmetrical headlights.

Yep, with matching HIDs & LED under-lights.

Don't forget the chrome swingarm & matching beanie helmet (where applicable)!

I think that everyone probably thinks they would not look good, because of the design of the S1000RR's headlights. My bike is a drag bike named "The Jersey Hellraiser." The look of the angel eyes would only add to the intimidation and a mysterious look on the track. No, I'm not trading my bike for any shaft driven BMW bike. I'm a racer not an old man retired driving Miss Daisy!!!

I was thinking about of angel lights too, but on the other hand two different headlights will require two different halos??? 8-0 I will just put yellow HID and white HID and will call it a day... just mine 5 cents...

I really want to get them, because I have never seen them on any S1000RR. I like to customize bikes and cars and not have the same thing everyone else has on the street. I think totally "outside the box," everyone else just follows the crowd. I own four BMW cars, 1991 318i, 1992 325i, 2001 330i, and 2007 328ci coupe. All of my cars draw serious attention, because they are not the same as everyone else on the street. They are all unique and stand out from the crowd. I have learned over the years that when you follow everyone else that you will not stand out or be recognized at all. I always think "outside the box." Lastly, I finally found a real "rider" for my S1000RR "The Jersey Hellraiser", Pat Williams and he will be a force to deal with on the eastcoast drag racing circut very soon.
