I highly recommend heat shrinking all connections, that area gets a lot of gunk, funk, and general debris in it. My old CA unit would short sometimes with just e-tape for protection in the rain, my Moto Dynamics hasn't made a peep.

One small tip for heat shrinking wires.

squirt some RTV silicone into the heat shrink first.  not much, just enough to fill the centre.  let it set up and then heat shrink it.  the shrink will squeeze the RTV and it will seal until hell freezes over.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That's actually brilliant. I'm going to go back and do this on my gauge wire. In a downpour the other day my tach went a bit haywire.

yeah, practice a bit before you do it.  if you do it just right, you can use oversided heat shrink and make a solid barrel of the silicone. 

i did this when i made a new wiring loom for another bike -- examining the old one, i realized the factory just sealed the ends with electrical tape and all kinds of crap got in as the tape got old.  rtv silicone will last far longer than anything else and effectively "pots" the connection as it's an insulator.

That's what I was thinking, it's essentially potting the connection but with something that is far easier to remove if need be. First round is on me if you ever get off your keister and come ride with us :D
