you may be SOL. I've never had luck splicing those wires. They run at such a low current that the resistance in the splice is often enough to kill the system. You may get it back up and running again by soldering the connection, but you're going to have to have some skills to pull it off.

Thanks, I seem to remember that is what Rappstar did when hid his SRM wires.
The problem with soldering is the connections are buried (or at least can't see an easy way to get at the connections) under plastic.

Well I guess it just might be a 36$ life lesson :-)

i did some quick research. According to what I found, the wires can be spliced, but you have to prep them. Apparently one of the wires contains a fiber material that has to be removed or you won't get a solid connection. The suggestion there was to strip the insulation then burn the fibers off with a quick hit from a lighter. I imagine if you prepped the wire ends with them off the bike and tinned them with some solder, you'd have a better chance of making a good splice. You will still have to worry about insulation and weatherproofing, but you can probably get some heat shrink tube in there.

If all else fails, I think you can buy just the mounting kit (with whole wires) for $15 from your LBS...although they may need to order it. There is a long wire kit available too, which if you're brave enough to cut wires again, might give you enough slack to make the splice in a more convenient location.

There is a fiberous material in there (I tried to keep it out of the way but I must have been un-successful)

I will give that a shot. Now I have a weekend project (cause I can't get out on the roads, supposed to snow here again F*&( !!!!!!!!)
