Hi Woody. I suggest you use the search function for the post archives because this has been discussed many times. The police lights are mounted in places that there are no lights on the civilian models, so, in a word, no, the mounting points for the extra equipment don't usually have something mounted there on a civilian RT.
By changing it to a regular RT do you mean removing all police wiring that's possible to remove, along with the extra battery, or do you just mean give it a passenger seat? People that have done it, say it takes about thousand bucks to buy all the stuff you need to make it a civilian bike, and it's not always easy finding the items on eBay. I also believe the police bikes use a different type of saddle bags, they're not the same as civilian ones, and I don't know if the attachment points and hardware are the same. I believe not.
Unless you're getting a really hot deal on a RT-P, it's usually less expensive to just buy a nice regular RT than converting a RT-P to a RT. Plus, the fact that most RT-Ps will need some mechanical attention, so you either have to be willing and able to do what's required, or pay someone to do it, and of course, factor that into the price.
