The wires of the computer are extremely small gauge. I mean extreeeeeeeeeeemmmmmeeeeely like almost human hair size. They are pretty hard to solder. Also, at the handlebar mount, they are often epoxied in place. It's a hassle, trust me. Best way to deal with it (and cleanest) is to use plastic cable wrap. Look at the brake cable in the picture below.
