Those look pretty close and can probably be easily tweaked into a different orientation if needed.  They don’t appear to be a special, complicated or proprietary design.

Glad to share pics of mine if it will help..

Yes, please do!  Thx

Thanks, that's sort of what I thought based on photos. I'm gonna order a couple of these, and I bet they will look and work just like the OEM.

it all makes sense now. Ill be trying to static time tomorrow. Spent most of the day cleaning. Also extending notches and elongating holes just in case.
Hope this does the trick and it starts.

These two looms on my bike are actually each bolted to fender.    It’s a simple piece of stainless wire with a small loop on one end  for fender bolt and a larger loop on the other end for the brake cable.  Not very complicated.  This loom is sandwiched between the rear brace and fender on each side.  They can appear to be welded to the brace but are not.  Maybe earlier bikes had welded looms on brace, but my 73 doesn’t.

I want more than functionality. The V7 Sport is a work of art.

I have no issues w/laying dash back on a board across the bars then use 1/2" breaker w/socket. Simple, but it's no show queen. Patina rules    I use 15W BelRay but have 20W waiting.

  I have a Tourmaster Draft, I love it!  I also have a Tourmaster Transition 3 for cooler temps. I like that stuff!

My Eldo is a hack tug.  ATF is okay for that use.

General Discussion / Re: Pressure washer recomendations,gas or electric?

I have both.  I need to go thru the carb on the gas one.  Don't really need it.  The electric one is fine most of my purposes.  Dry climate here and only street riding.
