Title: Place to source "Police Spot lights"
Post by: Mike123 on July 01, 2017, 02:35:51 PM

Hi,


Does anyone know where to source a pair of spot lights (UK based) as per the photo below (not my pic).


Looking to try and get close to stock version without the blue lights (ideally like the BMW spot lights covers)


Any help would be appreciated


Mike.

It might be possible to replicate, if you can't find what your after. Buy spotlights with covers, paint them white. Then buy some stick on BMW badges of Ebay. We have a local police workshop where they build and repair Police vehicles. I presume you have something similar, you might be able to approach them and find out where they get the originals. I would stress that you tell them you are not trying to replicate a Police bike.
Regards Martin.

Maybe contact the user, Alexander McCarthy, on the K100-forum.com.  He's restored several police bikes and may have spares to sell.

I've bought a few Police parts for my K75rt From Ebay. The rear radio/telephone box came from Denmark, the single seat from Germany.  I had to use Max BMW to get tyhe seat mounting hardware.  Some of the police or "Official Vehicle" parts are still available from BMW but pricey.  eBay Euro is your friend, I've not found any of my parts state side.
I heard through various sources that Atlanta PD used some of these bikes "back in the day" but I have not been able to verify.  If so, there may be some parts in Georgia.
