You are purchasing one new USA Made wiring harness kit for 1942-1945 Harley-Davidson military WLA models built under the 1942 master contract.  This is our "premium" kit.  It has correct tinned copper fold-over flag terminals as well as early style open barrel terminals and rubber insulators exclusive to the XA models only at that time.  Includes the dimmer wires with pre-wired terminals and a horn wire with a terminal sweated on. 


This kit also includes a correctly reproduced headlamp cable with a genuine Cole-Hersee headlamp block with bakelite butt connector for the front marker lamp as well as a wire and lamp contact button terminal.  Complete tail lamp and brake lamp wires with connectors.  This is somewhat of a one-off as all #6 terminals are soldered in place, as original rather than crimp on ones.


This is literally every wire and connector to wire your bike.  The detail on our main loom piece is simply amazing.  Our braider did a magnificent job on the transitions.  This took a lot of research to bring this to market.


Each harness is made one at a time by hand in our shop in Cimarron, New Mexico.  This harness is perfect for a concours restoration. 

 

I'd like to thank my friend and mentor, Darcy Miller of MV Spares in Australia for shipping me samples of a fairly decrepit original XA harness to use as a map and the last master kit he had built for XA models so I could see how it would finish out.   I've known Darcy along 25 or so years now and have never gotten to meet him in person though we've done a good deal of business together.  He does still have some military HD parts listed on his site if you are looking for spot-on reproduction black out lamps, mirrors and other parts..

 

The following harness sub-assemblies are woven in cotton loom material, as original:  Main "backbone" loom with some asphalt loom details for anti-chafe; dash to fork, dash to tail lamp.  

 

Our research via NOS wiring samples as well as a large library of photos shot at the HD factory museum shows that solid color (non-traced) wire insulation was used predominately prior to the end of WW-II.  If you disagree and would prefer a harness with all traced wires, you may custom order one.

 

Wires are single traced or non-traced as original, and tail lamp wires are the correct green, yellow, red, and black non-traced wires.  Wire colors are accurate as are the wire terminal ends.  


Handlebar dimmer and horn wires have ends already tinned, you will fish the wires through the bar from the bottom.  You will find it easier without your throttle cable installed if you have left hand throttle.  You will have to solder the bar wires into your dimmer and horn switches.  Other than the  fender lamp contact button terminal, this will require no more soldering.
