Harley Davidson Police Motorcycles
Police Harleys. since I was a kid, Ive seen police on Harley-Davidson motorcycles . Not for all of the one hundred years that Harley-Davidson has been supplying motorcycles to police.in 1908 Harley started producing motorcycles for police departments and has been doing so ever since. Harleys are used in more than 3,400 police agencies in the U.S. alone. Today there are police on Harleys in 45 countries.
Steve St. Thomas, Director of Police and Fleet Sales, talked about the programs anniversary in a recent article in Enthusiast magazine. There are two mew programs for 2008 which include the FLHTP Police Electra Glide, FLHP Police Road King and the 883 Sportster. The FL models have pursuit lights, an air-suspended solo seat, a 103-cu-in. powertrain, oil coolers, optional ABS on Electra Glide and Road King and bead-retention tires. Harley is adding a new 100th anniversary decal to the front fender of the police motorcycles. They have also added a metal tank medallion and a 100th anniversary H-D police badge madallion on the front fender of the Peace Officer Special Edition models.
There are also the special edition Peace Office and Firefighter models available in the Electra Glide, Ultra Glide, Road King, Fat Boy and Heritage Classic. As long as there are Harley-Davidson motorcycles, there will probably be police riding them.
