On the bike it looks veeery nice

The rocket cage looks niiiice. Jsut a suggestion to improve here. Where you cut the opening for the wires to come out, why not line the edge with silicone or crazy glue a rubber edge liner then thicken the batter cable by wrapping a few layers of heat shrink or electircal tape (E-tape) and then push that part of the cable that you wrapped to make thicker into the silicone/rubber lined edge and you have a nice water resistance seal for when the weather gets wet.
