This guy has a bad history in British bike circles. He has a British bike
parts shop on Chicago but his logo on website is a Loopframe racer. Art
work is from the cover of Guzzilogy.http://www.britishpartschicago.com/
I wonder if he knows.

Anyway could the bike be a Cali 1 that someone changed the buddy seat and
added a fairing and bags ? From the ones I have seen in the books, they
had chrome fenders and a single disc.

What's the wire from the left mirror to left handgrip?
True cop bikes usually had bags mounted with hinges outward so the lid
stays open when the bike is on the sidestand.
No pinstriping.
Don't see an air cleaner in front of the battery.
Brake pedal looks WAYYY too high above floorboard.
Left side mirror at a bit of an odd angle.
AHA! Rear crashbars are mounted maybe upside down? The upper end
should be mounted into the frame gusset plates at the curve of the frame
tubing. As mounted, these rear bars won't handle much abuse.
