I'm looking at a 65 Police Service bike in the morning and want to know if there is anything in particular that I should give a close inspection of?

I know nothing about pan heads or trikes.

See the replies in the general HD Chat forum.

The main thing to look for is cracks in the cast iron foot on the bottom of the frame and the seat post frame tube.

Before riding it, check that the top engine mount is in good condition and properly tightened. That is the usual cause of hte cracks I mentioned.

Very Nice, what kind of value on a 65 servi-car if you dont mind?

Originally I got this as an introduction to riding for my girlfriend with the intent of reselling it. I'm growing more attached to it the more I ride it myself. I've been asked before what I would sell it for and it would be $ 12k today.
