Thought I read somewhere that police bikes had a letter in front of the
VIN. A V maybe?

| Darrell, I recently, last fall, purchased a 1974 LAPD, Oct. '73, s/n 061467, that fits the same description as yours with two exceptions. One, mine does not have the siren lever even though it has the bracket on muffler mount and, two, the fenders are black with a white center stripe and no pinstriping. I figured mine was not owned by a police department due to there not being a siren lever and no windshield brackets. Mine showed 11,000 on the clock and tires, though not oridginal, have like new tread but the sides are weather checked and the rest of the rubber parts showed little wear. I figured a police department bike would show a lot more miles and wear. Mine is in pretty good oridginal condition, runs good but has timing chain noise, and the PO had added a Wixom fairing, bags, and top box witch made me like it even more. Anyway, sounds as if you have a nice "goose", have lots of tun fixing it up! Alan '74 Eldorado LAPD Wixomized MGNOC 4352 Alan R. Dunphy adun-@midmaine.com 21 West ST.
