Still wrestling with that idea.
It seems no matter how I do it it's gonna be a shitload of money.
I'm thinking of running a gripace to completely ditch my controls. Then I have to buy a mirror mount for the clutch side to get rid of the bulky chopped down clutch perch I have my mirror mounted to. Then I have to get a sleeker master cylinder and brake lever (jay brake, joker machine, pm, hawg halters...) and after all that I have to get spacers machined to fit next to my grips.......
That **** adds up

It really comes down to whether or not I'm patient enough to wire it all up.
The front end is coming apart for the fat bob trees and ricor intiminators to be installed then the complete front end is going to my Indy so he can fab up wheel and fender spacers.
That'll be the time to do it as I'll have the bars off the bike and great access to the wiring. I can bring it all inside and do it on the couch.

Toast you can really cut down on what is up there if you where to relocate your stitches to your dash, go internal throttle and hydro clutch, this would get the wires off your bars, cables, and switch housings... would prob run around $300 to pull off and all you would have is 2 masters and the grips... looks super clean. if i did not use my bike to show coated switch housings so much that is what i would have done... still will prob do hydro clutch when i make my air ride system for the bike in the spring

i considered putting the switches in the dash but i already have so muh wiring in there with having relocated the ignition.
another option i considered is putting the switches in the fuse box but i don't know how convenient reaching down under my leg will be every time i want to signal
