As for other areas, what I thought to be questionable splices were just extra electrical tape @ rub points and as a way to keep wires organized.
My initial reaction was from a position of ignorance of bike wiring.
Take a look at a racebike that's been stripped of everything, right down to the wiring harness, and you'll never make that mistake again.
