Adding a connector

Now it's time to add a connector to the end.  Tie a knot in the thicker gauge wire and then pass them through the pants; the knot will act as a strain relief.  Now solder and or crimp whatever connector you bought.  Always make sure to put the female side on the bike. 

After all of that is done, you'll want to add a liner.  This will serve two functions.  One it will protect your wires and two, it will keep you from getting burned.  Trust me, this wire gets hot, it WILL burn you...I found out the hard way.  I think an easy way to do this would be to buy another set of thermal pants, and sew them on the inside.
