Does anyone object to me soldering this?

Does anyone object to me soldering this? I am planning on bending the wires straight and filling the whole thing with solder to create a solid connection again. When the bike power is on (engine off) and I wiggle the positive cable power switched on and off. Probably not something I want happening at 60 mph..

It would work but if your already messin with it I would just out a new eyelet on...or at least cut off that one spread the crimp out put a good section in the crimp..crimp it and then solder it..

You can solder it but you will need to put so much heat into it that your better off just getting a new connector and crimping it........also doing a recrimp will allow an easier fix if it happens again

You would need to heat that with a blow torch! I'd just crimp on a new terminal, that way is stays flexible.

At work we typically crimp and solder the 2 and 4 gauge wires on various builds. Use a small Blazer torch and works well. Just make sure any rubber is removed first so it doesn't burn up.

thats what i did with mine 4 years ago and haven't had any problems

^ You could slide a piece of nice shrink tube on there, (WAY up as far away from the end as possible), then shrink it once your done soldering. This WILL make a nice connection for you. I'd pull the cable off the bike if posible and do it in a vise or something though. I don't THINK that would be too difficult?

This is what I ended up doing. It takes all the stress off the smaller two wires and is cleaner for future fixes. I slid the heat shirk down over the eyelets and nut/bolt after I took the picture. I plan on returning it to the original design eventually, but this was quick, easy and effective. Who know, I will probably keep it like this forever..

Thanks for all the help!
