I am less bothered about being able to reverse the mod, than making it 100% weatherproof in the long term. I've used the block connector for now, but eventually I will strip the blue/black wire back and solder it in, with heatshrink to finish. The wires with the mod are long enough to put it pretty much anywhere. I have mine loose, next to the snorkel. It hasn't moved since I put it there. If you want to remove the mod later (e.g. to sell the bike) than I'm sure there is enough slack in the blue/black wire to sweat the mod wires out and resolder the originals at least once. One original wire with a bit of heatshrink on it looks better to a purchaser than yards of extra wire and non-OEM connectors. Just my view.
