Default 2000 Road King

i picked up a 2000 Road King Police model a few weeks back, 47000 on the clock.
is there anything special about the police model? I’ve heard they installed a little hotter cams, this correct?
also I’ve been reading about the cam baring, tensioners...I haven’t opened up the cam cover, I know I should check.
did the police come with any special cam plate or is it just like the others? I’m guessing the SE would be the best choice.
i still have the 2017 Tri Glide for touring with the wife, this bike is my two wheel escape bike, fooling around solo, maybe a weekender trip with the guys...
anyone with approximately the same bike chime in, what I should look at first.
, best mods for value. I’m not looking for a screamer Street machine, just a reliable bike to have fun with.

thanks all...

Aside from the wonky wiring and switches your copbike is the same as all others with different paint, seat and bags.
Put some Cyco pads on the tensioners and ride it.

You forgot about the break detection system, automatically slows down and veers towards coffee shops...
