Leads from the cateye enduro's cyclocomputer body snapped off during
an accident.

I tried soldering the new length of magnet pickup wires following the
epoxy? block covering the pickup's connection pins molded into the
computer's bar mount AND then Gooping the wire's solder connections
to the bar mount at the epoxy block

Goop is silicone adhesive -

Question is does the goop silicone provide electrical insulation at
this low voltage flow?

The computer stopped recording data after 3-4 miles.

If the Goop is a no go what adhesive is durable and adequate
insulation? What are cateye bodies made of and what adhesive works best
there?

I don't know, but one thing's for sure; you sound a lot more coherent
than before the accident! Funny, usually it's the other way around.
Glad to hear you are okay.
