Hi all,
I found and bought a chrome fendered Eldo a couple years back. It is
going to be restored right after I finish the one I am doing now, so,
maybe in four or five years<G>
The neat thing is, it has the single sided brake(2LS) just like my other
'early' Eldos. First one like it I ever saw. It has all the police
goodies, big saddlebags, key under the seat,etc, but I never looked to
see if it had the siren mount. Prolly not.
The '74 disk brake Eldo that I bought from the AZ Hiway Patrol DID NOT
have the siren mount. So I wouldn't use that as the only basis to
distinguish one as a cop bike....The Eldo I am doing now is supposed to
have been a Phx police bike, and it has no siren mount, either. I does
have some special guages mounted to a special plate on the fairing, and
a clip on the fairing for a microphone. It also has the fuse panel
wiring relocated to one of the toolboxes, but it has civilian guages and
those lllooonnnggg surfboard type floorboards with a long kickstand.
There is no limit to the different ways these bikes came outfitted!!
All that for under 1k.!
