However, i decided later I wanted a more permanent solution, so stripped the plastic cover off a small segment of the tail light wire, stripped a bit of plastic off the relay wire and wrapped it around the tail light wire, and soldered the two together, then covered the connection with heat shrink.

The only thing i could see going wrong if you power the tail lights through the relay is if the relay goes bad, you loose your tail lights.
OK. So it's entirely possible to just forego the relay and splice the power wire for the heat grips to tail light wire?
