I also spoke with two other officers who confirmed that the bike was originally Police Silver, then Royal Blue tanks with White fenders in 67 or 68 and then all white in the 70’s. It spun a bearing in the late 70’s and was mothballed until 1994.
Here is the bike today. I have a correctly dated 65 frame and cycle signal strobe light plus the correct 65 triple trees. I still need 65 saddle bags and a 65 front fender. Once I have them I will tear it down and swap frames and paint the bike silver again.
The Belleville police are opening a new station next year and they have invited me to display the bike during the grand opening.
