Use p clips and run them underneath you can paint the pipes same color as the frame

Just hang them under the frame and axle, they shouldn't look out of place. To remove the need for cable ties I used some push in clips inserted into tabs welded on the frame tubes, rather than drilling the tubes.

Re: Ways to hide ugly brake lines
On my cx500 I used plastic clips, like these ones.
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132138472817
I ran them under the swing arm out of sight, there's always some you just can't hide
