Once again Oilhead owners ...
The Oilhead was BMW's first bike following new Euro regulations that auto parts be biodegradable. Your wiring harnesses all over your bike are falling apart at this age ... by design.
The HES wire is not the biodegradable type. It is PVC that has too low a temperature rating. 80C is too low for the application.
The flexible covering over the harness on other areas of the bike is biodegradable and is falling off now due to age.
