Yeah. That really is one ugly part of the bike. I had to look at my wife's Vulcan to see what Kawasaki puts on theirs. It's not much better, but at least the nuts are countersunk into it so you don't see them. Someone probably makes or has fabricated a cover.
Of course, about the only folks who see it are us owners who are under, over and everywhere on the bike....and when we're riding, we can't see it anyway...
