Default Cleaning up the front end of a deluxe

I have installed a suicide clutch and jockey shift of my 05 deluxe.
This weekend I am installeing my 14" apes.
I was looking at the front end and want to do away with the driving lights.
I just want a little cleaner look.
Any ideas or pictures of front ends that have been cleaned up?
Thanks for any input.

Do a google image search for "Ryan Reed deluxe" and look at the ones he built. I think there is a dark one (blue?) that only has the headlight. Others just have the spots.
I like his bikes, very clean. Look close at how he runs cables too.

I would be interested in your bullet turn signals should you decide to sell them.
