Wire Management?

Hey guys, Seeing as how I need to keep my 2001 Z 440 ES for another winter, I thought I would put handle bar raisers on it. Since I'm used to standing up while dirt biking, and I like standing up while sledding, I thought I would throw them on there.

Now, I put a 4 inch block on it, with a Pivot mount. Its about 5 inches higher then stock. Almost 6 with the bars i have on it. I wanna know, is there anything I could use to weather proof the electrical wires? The stock bar pad doesn't fit anymore because of the junction box on the throttle cable extender, and the wires originally where hidden away from the weather buy that Styrofoam pad.

I would use electrical tape, but it just comes off 2 days after I put it on something that I'm using while in the cold.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
