I had heard about turning in the old ones but my plan is the "somebody stole them" approach. Gonna have to find another guy with a POSE and borrow a vin I think.

To add insult to injury....I am a retired PO and the dealership had my bike (the one I ordered) on the floor a week after I took delivery of the black shrine bike!!
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks
My suggestion would be to buy the one they had on the floor - sounds like they got mixed up about which one was going on display and which was special order.
If you aren't going to have the POSE bike, I can't see putting on the tank medallions - if you want that Harley, get it.
JesterKing; you've probably already tried this, but throwing it out there...because the dealer initially thought this bike was POSE - can they address w/HD Corp. (Police Sales) in making it right (i.e. providing medallians)? Might be worth a try...??
I will try to keep this short. I order a 10 Ultra POSE. I paid and went out to see the bike. It was not a POSE but the dealer thought it was a HD mistake. It is a black Shrine edition with a Shrine Vin.
I really wanted the POSE tank medallions. I wanted that chrome emblem without the POSE rockers. The dealer said I could order the and I did. I paid $147 in June........In October I was notified that I could NOT purchase the medallions due to not having a POSE vin for the order. I got my money back.
Aggravation has set it. I still want the medallions and I'm looking for a way to get them. I saw 2 sets on ebay and did not win either auction. If i had a POSE vin I could order them.

Maybe you ought to connect with some of your police buddys who ride, or maybe the state police in your area. Use the vin # off of one of their scooters to order
the emblems. It might be worth a try! What could they do? Give you a ticket?
Back in the 90's, my uncle had a 1993 ultra clasic 90th aniv edition. We were at the cherokee rally and someone stole his air cleaner. He got a police report and all of that. He want thru a bunch of mess trying to get another one. Hd said he had to have his old one to turn in. He didnt have the old one, the theif did. He sent in the police report and all of that. I think he finally gave up on it.
Maybe, I'm wrong, but I don't think there is any difference in the VIN for a Shriner bike and a POSE. I have a POSE (not a cop), and the special editions fall under the same Shriner category. dealer should help you.
so order the badges and sell them to the guy , you have the right vin# , problem solved
