Your ignorance is funny because of the certainty with which you think you understand. I don't think there is immediate danger to riding the bike as is (as there would not have been to ride without random wire and fiberglass wrappings) but your opinion of the modifications you made (I won't call it a repair) are hilariously wrong.
