Many years ago, my older sister's boyfriend had an ex-police Norton Commando (this tells older readers exactly how many years I'm going back ...).
When he bought it, it still had the white fairing and supplemental flashing lights mounted on the crashbars, with the wiring and switches intact -- all that had been done to 'civilianise' the bike was removal of the panniers, radio gear and siren.
He was going to get it resprayed but decided not to, as he found that car drivers were miraculously getting out of his way wherever he went. He did confess to using the flashing lights once or twice in anger :-)
