Carpy Oil Tank with Battery Box

HOLY MOLEY!

This is just what I've been looking for.  I'm curious if anyone has installed one of these ( I know they just came out) as I'd like to see it mocked up.  I dont plan on going the solo seat route anytime soon and figure this may give me the opportunity to clean up under the seat while still maintaining all the electronics under the seat. 

I apologize if a thread already exists on the topic... I tried searching numerous ways and nothing came up.

Interesting design.  Too bad it does not include a sight glass to see the oil level.  You'll have to fabricate your own mounting bracket, as it does not bolt into existing battery box or oil tank mounts. 

Cognitomoto also makes a replacement oil tank designed to mount on the triangle subframe rails for $310. 

Round vs. Rectangle.  It all comes down to what pleases you more aesthetically and your ability to adapt the Carpy tank to the frame.

That would work great in a rigid frame
