Nearly every pin has been dipped in acid to remove corrosion and washed. The majority of connectors are sealed with either heat shrink or Super 33+. Once this gets on the bike, the connections will be covered with more tape to prevent moisture from getting in between the plastic.

Wow, that's a lot of work, I'll bet your glad it's done! Instead of taping the connections I'd use dielectric connector grease, much easier to work with and easy to take apart again if the need arises. You should be able to find some at an auto parts store.
