Frame oughta be okay for that. Not such high current as to need to go straight to the battery. That would make installation cleaner & easier. Again, M/Cs run in the weather & vibrate, so, soldered connections are better than crimped. Liquid electrical tape doesnt come unwrapped or, even heat shrink tubing would do the job well. A really anal type might slip the heat shrink down, away from the connection,solder it up, put a thin dose of liquid tape on, let that cure, slide the heat shrink into position & hit it with a lighter or soldering iron. Soldering is easy, clean the wires, dont twist the ends together like on a twist tie on a loaf of bread, aim one wire at the other, end on, cross the bare ends about midway & twist them around each other, so its like grabbing someones wrist while they grab yours. Then the wires look nice & will accept heat shrink. Dont forget to get flux, a paste flux, no acid core solder for electrical work. Get a 60/40 solder, flux core & youll still need a flux to add to the wires, just a tiny dab. let the solder flow into the wire. You should be able to see the individual strands of the wires, just silver from the solder on them. Not a glob.
