suncoaster Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Rubber footpegs with possibly shorter hero pegs ? Or is it just the camera angle ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcsp Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Maybe nothing? But does it appear to have a different left handlebar switch control block? Maybe for operating the police lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodapop Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I want the Cop swingarm. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjuster Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Two things: 1) The bike looks great with same color front fender/areo sides and tank/plastic. Time to paint mine all red. 2) The longer rear splash guard would be a nice addition to any stock bike, and looks fairly good while it looks like it might work well too. (The stock setup swirls the wind around and you end up with not only water on your backside, but even small rocks and other debris kicked up off the roadway.)

Premium Member wessie Posted November 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 12, 2015 UK police love the FJR after they went from a love affair with the ST1100 to hating the ST1300 that was a deathtrap in police spec - you ain't seen a weave until you have seen a Pan 1300 police bike weave. It took the death of an experienced police rider before the powers that be listened to the complaints. Anyway, it would be good to see the MT09 being used rather than F800s or Deauvilles, although UK plod prefer faired bikes. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted November 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 12, 2015 Haha. For reasons that may become clearer in a while, I have considered something similar for commuting. I'm not sure if he still has it but the beat copper in Hucclecote, Gloucester used to nip about on a white Honda Vision 50cc. Not the new, trendy type, like this Can't find a police version This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

xpress Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I have always thought the FJ would make a great police bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted November 14, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 14, 2015 I like the storage cowl in place of the pillion seat. That would be a good starting point for the aux fuel system I want to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
