N15 wire harness

Hi
Were the original wire harnesses tape wrapped or cloth braid for outer covering?

My 63 Atlas harness was tape wrapped.

Do you think yours is original or is it perhaps been replaced at some time?

Thanks

I do not know this for a fact in the case of Norton, but manufacturers often have two (or more) sources of supply for items such as a wire harness. I know for a fact mine is original. Another source of supply may have provided the harness with a cloth jacket. Moreover, a change from tape to cloth could have occurred at any time after inventory stock was exhausted.

Hi.
Mine is a replace but still have the old (probabily the stock?) that was cloth too.

Thank you to both you.
I have an original 1965 Atlas, that I know all the owners of. It has a taped harness. The ones I see advertised have either.
The one that was installed on the motorcycle I am working on, was taped and it appears original. But I am not sure as the bike is not a matching numbers motorcycle, so it could be a later replacement.
We need a third or fourth owner to weight in and break the tie.

I have a 1966 and 1967 Atlas and both were original and had tape covered harnesses when purchased....
