1964 FLH Police Special

[Iacovos]

On another note can someone identify this part and what is missing there (fastener) to keep it in place?

I cannot find it from the Parts catalogue

Please see picture

THANKS A LOT

Look at page 900 in Palmer's 3rd edition. The bike in the photos appears to be a Standard Model Police unit, as it lacks the F-1 or King of the Highway packages.

The chrome parts on the horn are incorrect, the mount and all parts of a basic police horn are cad plated including the trumpet. Mousetrap cover, footshift cover, and inspection cover should all be black.
The bracket for the brake line relocation (due to siren) is just a bolt with a special washer on the frame hole.

Got it in front of me!
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Rubone

However the front end (nacelle and forks) are correct to be blacked out right (please see picture from an original 61)

Yes, the black fork is correct. Note the other correct items on that '61, no top shock covers, cad timer cover, black handlebars most likely solid mount as that was standard for a base level unit.

[Chris Haynes]

Chrome or black out were optional. Cheap cities ordered black out.

Thanks for all the input

Hello
from the picture of this 61 which is an unrestored example you can identify it has the standard police group equipped with.

but then why the bike has the standard seat and not the deluxe seat that was included with the standard Police group?

was it possible then to add/remove options included in the Police groups?

thanks a lot

Have found a picture of the 64FLH ( the same bike i have posted pics of at the beginning of this thread) back in…1964…when it was used in service by the police back in the day
Awesome!

The windshield shown is the so called “peak” one correct?

The flatter one came in 1966?

thanks

The "round top" style started in 1966.
