I'm taking pics tomorrow of my new fender, so I'll grab some of the hand control. I really don't know what to do to make it lookable, because it's not now.

I took a grinder to mine.... left just enough to mount the mirror
some flat black paint... and then i stuck a beer bottle cap with a little silicone to fill in where the clutch / starter safety button is...

Not a bad idea, it looks good. I think I'll do that.

How about your directionals, where are they mounted?

Ole Coyote check these out for turn signal relocation. I have them on my Bones, got them powder coated black. Check out my pics in my album and there are some pics of them.
So honestly how is the learning curve for the suicide clutch and tank shift? I am really considering doing this. I have spoke with guys out here who have it and they have said it is pretty easy and once you make the switch you wont go back to hand clutch, but they have been riding with that setup for years. Bike is looking awesome.
here is the link for the brackets
