This is one of the few differences between a civilian frame and a true police
frame. They are not identical frames with just some different wiring.
(Another is the little welded lug on the lower left rail for the tiny
civilian sidestand.) The police frame has this frame gusset hole in place AS
WELL as a thicker strip of metal bracing behind the gusset. I guess that
makes it stronger and harder to bend the whole frame in a low side crash. I
did this same hole on my 73 civilian to add rear bars. Worked great for
years. Don't know who has it now.
