LAB-386-My New Police Harley Is In Service! Things I had to mod right away!

Author: Ryan Urlacher | Street Biker, Motorcycle Rider December 11, 2024 Duration: 1:28:32

In this podcast episode we talk about all the modifications we did to my newly Police Harley. After getting it fully equipped with police-specific gear, it's now officially in service. Lurch and I talk about how we, as a department, decided to set up our police motorcycles, highlighting some of the specialty equipment used. While some features come factory-ready from Harley-Davidson, many others are department-specific or added by third-party vendors. Let's dive into the details.

SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE

In addition to police-specific features, I've equipped my bike with several products donated from the Law Abiding Biker™ Store

  • Biker Gripper Cell Phone Mount: The strongest, sleekest motorcycle cell phone mount available. It's perfect for quick access, even in the most demanding environments. It's tested on police courses and proven to hold phones securely, even when the bike is dropped.
  • Ciro Cup Holder: For those long shifts or rides in hot weather, hydration is key. This cup holder ensures I always have my water or coffee within reach.
  • Adjustable PSR Levers: These allow for customized grip and omfort and they are adjustable for ultimate feel and control.
  • Armor Tail Light: This LED tail light, available from the Law Abiding Biker™ Store, is programmable with a smartphone app, offering various patterns to catch the attention of other motorists.
  • Fang Signal Inserts: Replace stock halogen bulbs with these LED inserts for both front and rear signals, available in red or amber, depending on your preference.
  • Ciro Filler Panel Lights: Fill those ugly voids in the rear of your bike with LED lighting. 
  • More products mentioned in the video below

One of the most exciting aspects of this build was getting the green light for some performance upgrades. We installed a Stage One Kit, including a Screamin' Eagle high-flow intake and exhaust system, to improve airflow and enhance performance.

  • Screamin' Eagle Intake and Exhaust: Although we used OEM Harley-Davidson parts, the upgrades significantly improved the bike's performance, making it sound better and increase power. 
  • EFI Remapping and Tuning: After installing the intake and exhaust, we remapped the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) using the Screamin' Eagle tuner. While not our first choice, it got the job done. In the future, we'd recommend the Vance & Hines Fuelpak 4 tuner, available in our store, for superior performance and ease of use.

Comfort and Safety Mods

Comfort is key, especially for officers spending long hours in the saddle. The addition of adjustable levers and an extended brake pedal greatly improved both comfort and safety.

  • Adjustable Levers: The PSR Anthem Pro Adjustable Levers offer maximum customization, allowing you to find the perfect adjustment for both the clutch and brake.
  • Extended Brake Pedal: This is one of the most important safety mods we made. The extended brake pedal is ergonomically designed, putting your foot in the ideal position for emergency braking, making it quicker and easier to stop when needed.
