Also trying to sort out my electric fuel pump mounting location. I went with the Edelbrock like Milwright, but once figured out a reasonable way to mount it to the cross brace, I'm not wondering if it's sitting too high. It's below the petcock, but not by much, and I suspect the best place would actually be right at the top of the engine.

I used a stock 1200 mount to get get it just on top of the engine. Working well with stock carbs but have yet to slide the motor back under the bike.
