Stephen,
Don't panic, you have the correct rear brake on your V7 Sport. The
Loopframe TLS fit because there was no cush drive employed on the Sports. It
might be worthwhile to install an 850-T rear wheel & brake to have the cush.
Might also want to consider the T rear drive, especially if you plan on a
lot of 2-up riding (my opinion is the Sports were geared entirely too tall).
I'm still using the small starter on my '73 V7 Sport & it works ok, but
I think the later Bosch starter would be a reliability upgrade. The little
starters are unobtanium, so it might be wise to keep it on the shelf.
Good luck & enjoy the Sport!

New Years was good to us, along with getting much work done on my Eldo
project, my wife and I bought a 74 V7 Sport. It's all together and
running, but it has been sitting for 1-2 years, so I am rebuilding the
carbs, changeing all the fluids, and looking at the wiring real closely.
One VERY strange modification some PO did was to install a twin leading
shoe front brake assy from an Ambo/Eldo onto the rear wheel. This will
come off and be restored to the proper brake arrangement real soon.
Eldo Mike, are you there with parts? I'll be contacting you soon.
The V7 came with a heavy starter motor installed (Ambo/Eldo style) and
the little (proper V7) starter in a box. Question for the common
consensus: Is the little starter really that bad?
