I like the old military bikes.That bike may actually be worth more to someone after the mods.

I had a few mails with this XWL builder, he is for now mainly busy with the restoration of a WLC (WLA build for the Canadians, with 16" interchangeable rims and thus outer rockers on the springer).

His XWL "Warboy" was put up for sale a few years back, the asking price was 22.000 €. Don't know of he sold it.

I'm momently gathering parts to do the same job, but mine would be a civilian XWL, with offset big twin front fork on a rubber mount rigid frame, Kraft Tech and Paughco deliver them.

But as time is money, I momently have no time for it

I've been seeing CHP's on bikes here lately with AR's in scabbards.
Someone is making them for motorcycles. May be available from a LEO supply company.
