David, Your bike looks great. I like the whitewall tires on it. I've thought of that for when I wear mine out.

I always thought it had extra engine cooling features since those bikes find themselves in parades oftens.

That shows how much I know! Hell I thought most Shriner bikes were white and the riders wear those funny looking hats that looks ethnic.

I'm glad to see this post. I just discovered my 05 Heritage Peace Officer model VIN designates it as a Shriner model. I was starting to wonder if the dealership swapped tins to accommodate the original owners purchase requirement.

Thanks.

And I thought Shriners were simply the drunken clowns riding extremely small minibikes in parades that throw candy at the youngsters and do stupid tricks.............oh wait, that's only around here........carry on.

PM Siloam 609 & also a Shriner. My bike is a Shrine model (didn't buy it originally, was in the Horse Patrol at the time) but there isn't any special Shrine markings on it.
As far as color I've seen white, Luxurious Red & Yellow + Green (some called it John Deere bikes).
15 years ago when HD was in huge demand, Shrine clubs could get new bikes every year. The waiting list, I was told, for the general public was over a year for a new model. That's why everybody wanted to belong to our Shrine Police Club.
