I am in the process of putting my 65 FLH back together. When I rewired the bike in the early 70s I used plastic coated colored wiring with the heat shirink tubing so routing the wires was a simple process. I am taking it back to more of a stock configuration and I am using the cloth wiring with the cloth looms. I have the relay mounted as well as the directional lights.
And "yes" I undertsand that the relay and circuit breaker were not a 65 item, but they are staying on it.
I need some help in routing the wires though...

1. There is a 2-wire loom for the rear directional signals that goes from the rear of the bike all the way to the front electrical panel under the nacelle.
2. There is a 4-wire loom that goes from the rear electrical panel (under the downtube for the seat post assembly) to the dash.
3. There is a single wire loom that goes from the relay to the front panel.
4. There is a two-wire loom that goes from the voltage regulator to the generator.
5. There is a single wire loom for the oil pressure gauge to the dash panel.
That makes 5 separate wire looms the have to get from the back of the bike to the front of the bike.
Right now I have the 4-wire loom from the rear electrical panel and the 2-wire loom for the directional signals running along the backbone of the frame and under the seat post T in order to get to their respective spots.

With luck I might be able to get one of the single wire looms (thinking oil pressure switch loom) under there as well, but that still leaves 2 looms (voltage regulator to generator wires and relay switch to front panel wire) that I have no idea how to route.

Hoping that someone with a 65-69 model can tell me or show a pic of how the wires should be routed (or someone familiar with how the wiring goes).
