Corrugated wire protection?

[Iwanttogofast]

I am getting ready to get into the harness part of my Goblin, and am wondering if I should use corrugated wire cover / protector like is around the harness from the factory. The videos appear to show just taping the hell out of the harness. Not only could that be a sticky mess if you ever need to get back in there in the future, but electrical tape really doesn't offer great abrasion protection. I've got a bunch of this stuff sitting around from and old project. Should I use it?

I used a split sleeve like this:

wire loom

It holds the wires tighter and looks a little more upscale. I did keep the stock corregated on the engine loom if it was in good shape.

I'm using Tesa Tape to wrap the harness. Its heat and abrasion resistant.
In areas that look like they could have excessive rubbing, I'll use some split loom like Joebob.

If you have it, there’s nothing wrong with using it. I used spiral loom on my main harness that I had laying around. It was going to be covered in the tunnel anyways, so might as well use it.
