Complete opposite to mine, with wires sticking out everywhere

All you've got to do once you are happy with everything is stand back and just look at it and take a note of the things you would like to tidy up eg wiring etc. and spend a couple of hours with some electrical tape wrapping the wires into something resembling a loom.It also stops them chafing through if you secure everything with cable ties and it covers all the different colours and makes them less obvious.
Once that is done look at the cables and other items and see if you could route/remount or tidy them away in a better manner.
It's surprising how quickly it can improve looks.
Take a cup of tea and a sandwich into the garage and switch a radio on and just look at it.
Get some thin sheet steel. Old fridges,cookers etc. are a good supply and make some simple panels to cover ugly gaps or make up integrated instrument mountings. A tip here is to make the panels a few mm's or 8ths of an inch larger and using pliers work your way along the edge turning it over then pinch it together. It's surprising how much stiffer this makes the finished panel and gets rid of the sharp edge.
My primary cover is an old cooker back and a dog bowl. It's not sealed as I run a cvt but you might consider a chain oiler if you can't get yours sealed?
The bike can still be used and a few hours when it's raining(that would be every day then )can work wonders .
Your bike obviously works as you went to the Big Knock(which I just missed)
