My guess is replicas... no BMW markings near the center

Also.... :xoutpost:

Some replicas have "BWM" marked near the center, like my reps!
Here's a pic from the home page of BMW Style 87's. See the markings?

They are replicas. Sweet looking exhaust, aftermarket?

Thanks dudes. I've had it for about a week now, rides so smooth, nice sounding exhaust. You know I can't recall what type of exhaust the previous owner said it was. It's in the paperwork though...

Great! Any mods on your list? Getting rid of the amber would put your X over the top IMO (and angel eyes!)

Where did you get your clears from? I think that's next, than a DICE.

I just removed the waffles and installed AE's. Check the homepage for details and run a search. Many members have done this and since you have a 2001 you're probably in luck, because headlights mfr'd after 10/2002 CANNOT be opened (Hella changed the glue!). Dice is a must or Intravee II (and a sub!)

as opposed to on the outside near the center cap where they used to put it.

See Pic: <attached>

PS: I'm new to the forum and I tried just pasting the image but it didn't work, so I tried the "insert image" button but it wanted an http:// link (and it's not posted on the web) so I attached it. If anyone has a sec to tell me how to put the image inside the posting that would be great.
