That's a bummer, thought You were in the states. Not a problem though, well versed in International shipping. I don't think the PM system works here anymore? Saw the Picture of Your bike in another post, looks Great! Something to look at please. If original handlebars i believe you'll have a singular locating hole on the bottom side of handlebar on LH switch, note in photo. Also they slightly changed the design, still manufactured by Asahi Denso (AD), thru the years. Note first generation used just one screw to retain harness bracket, later changed to two and bracket changed to accept. One shown is July of 1976 or 607. I have all the parts here.

Good Morning Rich! I sent You a text earlier this morning with a sample photo attached to see if you can see it? Honestly haven't used email in probably 6yrs. Something happened to "syncing" and being a computer dummy just haven't bothered to address it, ha. Does texting cost money? I haven't a clue when it comes to international texting??

Yes it does, when I have texted Bill or Dave from the UK it's close to $2 per text - do you use "whatsApp"

"whatsapp" is a phone app that allows you to send messages and pictures via the internet (similar to email) instead of your cell provider so no charge - you can also make "voice calls" through it to avoid international charges (you would need to check this is relevant for you with your internet provider)

I use WhatsApp also, there is no cost from NZ to UK, so assume it is free to/from USA, but you will have to check. This can be installed on a cell phone or computer. I got your phone message but phoning NZ will be very expensive.

From what I can see, WhatsApp is free to call from the US to NZ, but the device must be called /connected through the internet. If you call from a cell phone and it’s using mobile data, the call will be charged.
Hope this helps.
Rich.

No mobile data needed, you can use your local home router or any free wireless network as an internet connection.

In the meantime figuring out the possibilities for communication, wife is off on weekends ya know. How handy are you Rich. seems you've gotten this far without assistance! Here's an option. Because you already have the bones of what's required to make it "pretty". I can just send you bits to glam it up..and info where needed. took it on myself to finish-out that 607 lower date-coded shell for the LH switchblock. I can easily tell you how to achieve the same! Nothing special tool wise, just technique.
