Jeez Russ, chill a little.
He wants to change the appearance of the bike. He doesn't want to look like a cop.

I'm thinking a darker color. Just about anything but white would do it.
Yellow? Red? How about that new copper color? Choices are endless.

LMAO...Hey he asked. I dont even know the guy. But I bet he gets looks and the occasional finger when riding it. Would any of you ride next to it or want to share the lane? Tell us the response you get from other drivers when you ride? I am curious...Russ

Hey Woody my trip to the Indy time trials is off... we should get together this week end... I'm off today through Sunday Call me

cops suck!
cop bikes are cool!
people trying to act like cops suck!
cutdown a smoked windshield for the fairing and i would enjoy riding it anywhere even with the police 1000 decals.
i like the fact that you actually modified it yourself and ride the thing.
keep us posted on the changes/progression of your bike.if you hang around here long enough everyones hardons will soften :laugh: .

As I read that description my mind flashed back to that Dirty Harry movie where some motorcycle cops were gunning down mob figures and the like.

A buddy of mine has one as well, except he's got a different fairing on there and he put an LTD style seat on as well.

Last year:


This year:

The easiest mod to not look like a cop might be to tint and trim the windshield.
Looks like it's pretty tall. Do you get any buffeting with it?

Easy fix to make it NOT look like a cop bike....

Put a strip of Duct Tape over the side cover wording POLICE.... :dry:

See, now it looks like a totally different bike... :huh:

Sorry, couldn't resist...
