Cool Touring coil relocation

I have an '07 FLHR that I have raised the tank on by 3".
This has opened up the space above the front jug nicely, but now the coil sticks out above the now shiny rocker cover. So far I haven't found a cover for the coil as you normally can't see it. I want to move it so the area above the rocker cover and the bottom of the frame will be wide open.

My questions are: has any body found an alternate place to mount the coil or another way to cover it?

Now that the tank is higher it looks like I can make it fit above the cowbell, but might just be moving the ugly around. If I can find a chromed cover for it or use a coil from a different model that has a cover that would be cool.

Any suggestions welcome, pictures would be very helpful.

Accel has just released their coil on plug system, very similar to what is on most autos these days.
