Thanks Schumacher.

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.

Thanks for the responses!!

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 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.

I've only have been riding Harley's since 1975, I must have missed this one.
But what is a "POSE"? and what is a "retired PO"?

Peace Officer Special Edition and PO is probably Police Officer, or Peace Officer (could be Parole Officer).

so order the badges and sell them to the guy , you have the right vin# , problem solved
