Also, you can get crimp connectors where the shrinktube is lined with hot-melt glue.
This gives a reliable, sealed joint.
Or simply use the glue-lined shrinktube over soldered joints.
In either case, the glue gives added mechanical strength to the joint.

Will bear this in mind for when i'm next soldering buddy, thanks for that!
Update:
So the bike came to me with 3 random wires at the head tube which turned out to be fuel, oil pressure and neutral which couldn't be wired into the koso clocks so i came up with the idea to drill out M8 bolts and fit 3mm LED's inside them then put them where the original mounts are for the bars. I only ordered one to make sure it was going to work so i done the fuel light today:
However the fuel light is staying on so i think the low level sensor may be knackered... as i checked for current when the tank was empty and full, both times there was 12v going to the wire
any other way i can check?
cheers,
