probably been through this before but why don't the police in the United States wear modern equipment? with flip front helmets you would not look like robo cop approaching a motorist. the cops on horses bicycle and on foot can do all the public relations. a swat team member would not show up dressed like a WW1 soldier looks like the FOP or the insurance companys would do something

The riding pants a lot of them wear are actually pretty decent, they call them "40mph pants" as a joke. A lot of the rest of it, the half helmets, the short sleeves, comes from the need for completely unobstructed visibility and immediate mobility. Stopping a vehicle is the riskiest thing a cop does, with domestic violence calls being a runner up. You can't be distracted even for a moment having to take a helmet off or putting one back on. In a blink a perp could go for you. A flip-front would be great for pulling over Joe Citizen, but man, I can assure you you won't want anything more than the bare minimum if someone starts to brawl with you. It's bad enough wearing all the web gear a cop has to wear, that crap is an instant handle right at your center of gravity when brawling, it is a PAIN IN THE ASS if you get a crackhead with a good hold on your web gear. It's hard enough to brawl someone down, think about trying that with full riding gear on....no way.

well if i could design my own equipment i would want a kevlar helmet of some sort with as much bullet resistant features as could be had. i would want a voice actuated radio that would work with the lid up or down. same bullet resistance along with motogp skid armor which should work well together. i would want probably a cross draw holster arangement that would hold pistols internally with nothing to grab onto. could go on with lipstick cameras but i would want that probably on the bike. i would much rather forearm smash a thug with an armored jacket than a short sleeve shirt. would rather maintain contact and wait for help if i could.many arguments here about helmet visibility i've never had any trouble seeing out. and what is an officer to do no matter how he is mounted to do on a - 10night?

Does anyone know the size of the rotor puller bolt for the KLR 250 ? Or the part # ?
