If you're afraid of electrical tape, run a new wire...you can get a whole roll of it for 5 bux. Using heatshrink tubing properly, which is considered a professional repair on exposed wiring (not "rigging it"), won't lead to any new problems down the road that you won't get from running a new harness through the same route. That wire will rub through again unless the source of the problem is fixed by covering the metal it was rubbing against, whether repaired with heat shrink, a new single wire, or replacing the entire harness. Now if other wires in the bunch were also worn thin (which, come to think of it, is probably the case), I could see replacing the harness as an option. But I'd save myself the labor costs and do it myself.
