Anyone found any details about the electrical system? Bigger alternator we can install, where and if it has a second battery?
Cop bike in a cop thread. What's not to like?
A little off topic, but I see posts about exhaust here and there on the forum and thought some might be interested in this. We started powdercoating the silver pieces on the stock exhaust for Agencies that asked. I think it makes the exhaust look smaller.
VirginiaJim, if you know of a better spot to put this picture then by all means do so, just wasn't sure. It is on a C14 Police bike though.
Have several pics from The Mich. Police Vehicle testing. As soon as I figure a way to post them online I will post a link. Just a note, to attain the proper min. turning radius the engineers took a dremel to the stops. Recommended that I do it to mine, he said it made it much easier to move around. These are the men developing the bike.

Here are the results of testing.
Just trying to be careful and obeyin' the rules. I am just a newbie. Thought it should have been in an exhaust thread or something.
It just allows further turning of the bar in a fork lock turn. for us, Portland Police Burea, its a standard spec set on our purchases
I did the same but opted for a little contrast:
The alternator is the same. The second battery is mounted in the fairing right front.
Really? What size is this battery? And we are not talking about the OEM battery compartment are we?
Recognize these?
This is the complete article from the Zimmerman case that's been all over the news lately.

I don't care to start a thread discussing the case....just the cool Police C14s in the shot. I pulled up behind one yesterday and didn't get to say hi to the driver. They look just like the Black '10s with MCE bars on them. Mine is red with the bars so I thought I'd ask them how they hold up to a real drop next time I see one of them.
As you didn't want to really discuss the Zimmerman case, I moved it here.Cool thanks! I didn't really care to get a debate going on the case as I've already seen and heard enough of it on the news.
.....so I thought I'd ask them how they hold up to a real drop next time I see one of them.
Maybe I wouldn't make a very honest Police Officer, but I wouldn't admit that I ever dropped itI would think that at some point in their motor training they'd have to pick up the machine they're riding at least to see what kind of effort it really takes. I picked up one of those Harleys some depts still use and they are a beast to lift!
nor acknowledge that I have any knowledge of an officer dropping one at any time, anywhere.
Most likely say "Don't know, we don't drop 'em."
