OK, now let's look at some photos from The Legend Begins
Below is the
1960 photo. The steep angle of the oiler and hose make it look like it's going
BEHIND the bracket.

Below is the
1961 photo. The angle has changed to about 45 degrees. But the hose obviously goes
BEHIND the bracket.

Below is the
1962 photo. The angle is back to the steep 1960 one. Hose goes
BEHIND the bracket?

Below is the

For 1963 and 1965, TLB shows the other side of the bike, so no joy there. Did something change in 1964 (or 1963?). One oddity in the 1964 photo - the horn condenser appears to be mounted on the toolbox stud in the crankcase. Well, the condenser seems to be a topic for another post - it seems that Harley wasn't too consistent about where they mounted that either.
