Default They think I知 a cop!

I switched to a white full face and now when I come up behind cagers they slow down to the speed limit or slower...

I think from a review mirror they might think I知 5-O. It sucks when there痴 nowhere to pass!

Bike is Red Hot Sunglow and it has a Smoked Shield, I have not seen a cop bike last up like that.

Put an FU sticker on the front of your bucket. That should clarify you're not a LEO.

My brother has a blue '07 Ultra Classic and I a blue'13 Road Glide Ultra, when viewed from behind they are similar in color to Michigan State Police motor units. People wouldn't pass us even on a four lane highway. Damnedest thing I ever saw.

Never seen a motor officer wearing a full face helmet, white or otherwise.

If you remove the face shield seeing your mug would convince them otherwise too.

Agree FF is very rare for LEO.

Can’t figure out why people are slowing down nonetheless??

In California, not unusual for motor officers to wear modular helmets, usually Shoei. OP lives in Brentwood, Antioch PD (next city to the west) motors wear Shoei modular.
