You're correct, not easier. However, with the '98 ST2 it may make any number of repairs unnecessary. I moved mine into the airstream, went up several sizes on the wire, connected directly to the battery, soldered everything. After a year of misery before doing this, I've had two years when I have just forgotten about the former constant concern that on any trip (even across town), you might be pushing, rather than riding. If something fails, I'll just cut the wires and do what's required. On the road, in the event of a failure, crimped connections will get me home and I can resolder when I arrive. An assortment of crimp sleeves is a light load.

This is a case where that adage is incorrect, the value of interconnects is in the ease with which their attached components can be either combined or removed/replaced.
As has been discussed my most of the list, desoldering a component is not the way to make a repair easier.
