Scott,
Can't tell you much about the engine other than it is not an Eldo. Police Eldo's were tagged "VP" before 5 digit serial number. I think that 63xxx is the highest I have seen. Also....Loops had generators. Sounds like you have a "T" front end as well.
Frame is Loop.
You live in Athens eh?....I am up in Dahlonega, Ga. Let me know when you are coming up this way....drop by the "shop" for a coffee.
Regards...Ian

Subject: Bike/Motor Identification
I'm going through a new to me bike and I need some help figuring out what I've got here. Its titled as a 1974 Edorado. The previous owner thought it was an LAPD model. The following information is stamped on the steering head ID plate: Build Date: Oct 1973 Model Year: 1974 Engine No: 060691 Frame No: 060691 The number stamped on the engine case, just forward of the oil dipstick, is: VC * 093878 * This motor has an alternator cover (round) rather than a generator cover. Carbs are VHB30 The bike has a single front disk brake on the right. The left fork slider has mounts for a caliper. Does it sound like I have a later model motor in the bike? What else should I look at to ID the motor? Whats the story with the left fork slider - is it likely to be stock, did it have a dual disk setup at one time, did it come from the factory that way (with mounts but not caliper)? Thanks.
