Angel Eye's and bikes?

[st3v3]

Saw this Ebay thing and thought, does it really work? And as well as they 'claim'?

Fair enough, a few f you have HID's on your bigger bike's so would how would these fair?

What'd they be like on power and they too tarty or just pointless?
I like the idea and from this pic I think they look kinda trendy.

Nearly bought an r1 with angel eyes.

Just tarty is all they are.

I still want some for the 1000 in red.

There was a bike with them behind me today had them in red and they looked superb but don't know what kind of bike it was as he never got past me but very nice.

That's another thing I'm not sure on, how they fit... If you got a sealed unit like some modern bikes, how they go in? On my bike(for example)the mirror bit comes away from the glass with clips, so it's just fitment and wiring up.(although being a square light, it'd be odd)

[doggone]

You shouldn't show a red light on the front though - and might get done for blue too.

[McGee]

[st3v3]

It's ok for show/off road use only - officially.

Also, if you have something over the headlight like an ever so slightly tinted light protector then the angel eye(s) legal, as long as the protector is legitimate. Easier to keep a normal headlight though.

[craigs23]

Quite honestly, what is the point?

They're only visible at night, offer no improvement over standard headlights and more than likely to have some other road user wipe you out, especially if the red items are fitted.

It's hard enough staying accident-free riding a bike (especially at night when periphiral vision and forward planning is massively reduced), with such a stupid add on as these are, you're just asking for trouble.

Unless of course, you reguarly hang around Homebase car parks with the rest of the boy racer cruises, where such a pointless mod will be right at home with neon running lights, fake Ebay NoS thermos flasks, plastic-chrome "alloys" and glow in the dark windscreen wipers.

What has that remark got anything to do with this thread?

I'd rather spend the money on a decent pair of HIDs.

Tarty? Yes
Good looking? Only the bright white ones imo.
Useless? Most certainly.

Well, I would rather spend the time cleaning my bike if it was worth it and wasn't going to be worse off after riding the next day.

But here in the U.K, that rarely happens so as McGee says, when your trying to stunt or are out for pose factor(as he does) then they're a funky addition. You wouldn't use JUST these on the road at night, that is stupid but in the right places(not Homebase car park )if you like them, and have got the time/effort/money to use then fine.

I agree ,and the same for taking baths after work aren't worth it if your just going to get dirty again the next day.

Angel eyes on bikes look good IMO.

Makes a change from seeing a tuned up 1.1 Corsa with them on.

With Motorcycle Angel Eyes

With Carbon Footprints! (Sorry, Completely irrelevant)

I'd definitely hedge a bet to getting the HID's. Remarkable difference in projected beam (and associated glare since technically you're not allowed to have them on vehicles without auto-levelling suspension - they are fine for use with projector headlights) - but what the fuck, if it sacrifices glare for your own visibility and safety, go for it - a LOT easier to install and implement than angel eyes. Having said that - both me and Luxy DJ ride our bikes with tinted lenses over HID's! Headlight covers are only pimp when parked up!

Personally I think they look great they might be more trouble to fit than they are worth, mind...

I love the looks of angel eyes

My OH and a few others have said they look 'chav'ish'

I would buy them on a bike, but I dont think I could fit them myself
Due to what I've heard on here.
