Congrats to Patrick Hayes for noticing the rear crash bars! The crash bars
were the first thing that caught my eye. They were probably put on that way
so he could use the bags he has. And yes all the other items are also wrong.
:) Don't you just love this list. Pat the wire you see on the left mirror
is actually the throttle cables. Plus the mirrors are wrong. I have no idea
what the funky switch control he has on the dash, but that should be a red
light for the courtesy light usually attached to the windshield and he is
also missing the coil disconnect pull switch from the dash. He does have an
original left crash bar.

What's the wire from the left mirror to left handgrip?
True cop bikes usually had bags mounted with hinges outward so the lid
stays open when the bike is on the sidestand.
No pinstriping.
Don't see an air cleaner in front of the battery.
Brake pedal looks WAYYY too high above floorboard.
Left side mirror at a bit of an odd angle.
AHA! Rear crashbars are mounted maybe upside down? The upper end
should be mounted into the frame gusset plates at the curve of the frame
tubing. As mounted, these rear bars won't handle much abuse.
