QuoteI looked at the cable as an interim thing to avoid cutting the OEM harness while the bike was still under warranty.
You raise a good point...that I maybe should have heeded, but what's done is done. I had some 14AWG speaker wire and some professional loudspeaker connectors in a bin (rated for 40A), and now I have sort of slick hidden battery in a Pannier bag. All-in-all, about 45 minutes of time well spent I think.
I'll definitely hit 200 mating cycles within like two months, it's a daily driver and I'm not about to leave a bike with a bag locked to a pole anywhere in NYC!
The Radmission controller is built really surprisingly well, I need to go back in at some point and re-epoxy all the waterproofing goop I scooped out, but that's a project for another weekend.
