will an 05 s2r 800 headlight bucket and pigtail fit on an 08 695?

Should. As far as I know, all monsters pre 696 can swap off headlights. Older ones have a glass lens and steel bucket - newer plastic bucket and lens. But dimensions and connectors should be same same.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Damn, just the glass lense alone on eBay is
$250 with 7 days left to go.

You can use a BMW replacement lens for much less. Check the alternatives to OEM parts in Tech and look for my post on headlights.

That's a 'Buy It Now' price for the whole headlight.
