Oh come on... 1) it looks fine, 2) it's hardly your concern.

no need to be a dick about it.....
it isn't my concern, he can hang a dried donkey ***** off of there if he wants, and i couldn't care less.....
but the fact is, imo, it detracts from the looks..... plain and simple, my opinion.
man, this is the first time i've gotten slammed for giving a guy a compliment.... go figure.

I bought a stainless steel holder from the place below. It looks great and was much cheaper then the claw.

I started with the Boom Audio (HD) tank pouch. I searched around and found a 1 foot patch cable so I didn't have any extra/coiled wire. I was initially worried that the pouch would scratch the paint or fall off, but it worked great (had it on for about 2k miles). It wasn't the most beautiful looking solution, but when I got off the bike it took literally 2 seconds to detach it and stick it in my pocked (which I always did, because it would be just that easy for anyone else to grab it with that setup). So it never messed up the looks of the bike when it was parked, and hey, that's the only time anyone is looking at it 
I later changed to the HD iPod integration setup. It wasn't cheap, but I was glad I did it. The sound quality is noticeably better, and it's about as clean and secure as you're going to get being back there in the saddlebag (for what that's worth). Being able to control the iPod with the hand controls is nice, but it's clumsy enough that at least for me I only do playlist/artist kind of stuff when I'm pulled over. Still, much nicer than the old way.
So anyway, I was happy with the pouch, which is about as cheap and easy a set up as there is, and totally clean when you're off the bike. But I was even happier with the integration module setup. For me at least, it was worth the $$$.
