Faux Oil Tank / Electric Box Options

[littlebill31]

I need a little help with finding ideas for a fake oil tank or something to hold some electrical parts on my hardtail.
I have a TCI and would like to hide some things....BUT, I do not want to weld this part on. I have already painted and finished my bike, so I'm looking for a small, bolt-on option.
I was going to run the small amount of wires I have cleanly (I still might), but am considering other options.
Thanks all.

I'm going to cut down an old fire extinguisher and put my key in the top. It's about 4 1/2 diameter

You could weld tabs to the sides and bolt it where the rear motor mount is

I sell welding supplies and made a fake nitrous tank out of an aluminum 5 pound CO2 tank. tight fight but went under the stock battery location. Used a NOS sticker and just drilled the valve and ran them through SS line.

Check my build for how I did it, it all mounts to my batt box.

Here's my setup I made for $46. Bolts to the rear engine mount, but I haven't added my brackets yet since I still need to fit my chain and rear fender.

Blackbetty,
can you give more info on your round electric housing?
what did you use and where did you source you re parts?
have you mounted it yet and how does it look?
thanks
