I think Mailman's pics are the winner here and tell the tale. Take a look at the right mounting hole in your 1st pic of the left side. It's "D" shaped. That's a rectifier mount if I ever saw one .....
Guess I got confused... your comment says 74, your title says 73....View attachment 189461 View attachment 189462
It Won't Fit Here
Reassembling the 74 TX650, the voltage regulator does not fit in the usual place of 74 up. The manual shows a pic of it on left side but the screw holes do not match. Is there a special place for it?

Right Side Now.
The safety switch fits here but do the wires go up or down?
I did not take this one apart.
Mailman's photos has resolved my questions.

Repop Indicator Lights
I went all out and bought 4 directional lights from XS650 Direct. As expected, I had to shorten the hollow stem by a third so they would fit nicely on the back. Then I put on the better fender that Jim sent, thanks, and the NLA chain guard I drove to Halton County for, plus connected most of the wiring at the back.
Looking forward to getting some momentum going here, want to complete it by the end of the month.
One pipe on each side. What it’s wearing will drag on hard right handers.View attachment 191991
