Well, I kinda knew that, it's an FLHPEI Police Escort, 2001.

I just picked it up this past weekend. Thinking about getting different lids, not too crazy about that big **** on there.

I think cop lids are kind of neat. If you don't have a tour pack, they open the *right* way and you can get in your bags without getting off your scooter.

I like them better than the civilian lids because you can open/close them with one hand. You can even get into them while still seated on the bike. The downside is, they are not compatible with a Tourpac if you wanted to add one.

I'd think they would be harder for someone to break into.
