I don't have a lot of experience on /5 Airheads but started doing an overhaul on one I've had sitting for a while. Went through the front forks and replaced the front brake cable for peace of mind. There was a little wire bracket that is #6 in the OEM fiche:

Not really helpful as a parts picture. The large loop was around the cable but not attached to anything else.
I have reached out to others but no success. Is is BMW NLA, but still on some aftermarket parts sites inn Stainless.
Any /5 guys who can help and maybe send a pic of the placement?

So, I have the same part on my /5 and went dow to see where it was placed. When I found it, I remembered that I had the same question as you and did not yet get it answered. Here is a photo of where mine is. I will now endeavor to find it's proper placement and use - you have motivated me. I do see that Boxer 2-Valve sells it in SS, so they must know where and how it fits.
Here is a photo of where mine is.
This site only accepts JPG format photos. Can you please convert that and re-submit ?
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
