Fitted some Hot Grips today. All good but not keen on the look of the big controller sticking out above the bars. Mounted as they suggest on the bolt for the clutch lever. It's the first thing you notice when you look at the bike when sitting on it and I find it quite ugly.

Has anyone got a controller placed in a different place on an SV? Looking for alternative ideas. Needs to be accessible to use when riding but not obtrusive. A contradiction I know. I did think about sticking it with the adhesive pad to the faring next to the speedo, but that will be a bit tricky to use when riding.

I've got Renthal riser bars fitted.
