My chrome fendered Eldo did not have aluminum risers . And there are
two different siren brackets . Mine did have the small but no large
bracket.

The chrome-fender jobs were sold at various times by the Berliners as "California Police" and "Police Specials." Mike Berliner said they offered these to satisfy demands from civilians in the US for Eldos with footboards for touring or that looked like hte cop bikes. They lack a siren mount and were essentially the same as the Euro California model. Most had regular Eldo sidecovers, though some came with "California" screen-printing on the sidecovers. Also, they were offered with the US police windshield mounts for the Harley-style shield, rather than the Euro-Cal shield. That's not to say there were no cop bikes with chrome fenders. Some departments had odd mixes of parts. Colorado, for example, on one load got civilian bikes that were then fitted with AAA footboards by the dealer through which they were ordered. GF
