    Welcome to the site, Clant.
    What is a police GS1000? Something from a police auction or an old patrol motorcycle?

      Welcome to the funhouse.
      I cant quite see from your profile pic, but wonder if thats the "police" bike that has appeared here before, first as a CL ad, then owned by a member.
      Its police use was an unknown, but it was a cool bike regardless.

        Not sure about the exact history of the bike yet. All I know is that it says "prior police" under history on the title and it was a switch on the controls that blacks out the lights. I hope to learn more soon and will keep everyone posted.
