Default Relocating the coil on 18+ softail

Has anyone done this or figured out how to do it? Id like to relocate or hide the coil somehow to clean up the left side of the bike a little better. To me the coil looks out of place hanging off the side of the engine the way it does.

the wire harness is super long. Might just be a bracket and longer plug wires.

Jims makes a coil relocator. It takes some work to get it on though.
