Hey!

So, I'm making Cultists ride bikes because I think it's cool idea. I'll make them a bit different Cultists though, just like their armor, everything is improvised (except the stolen bikes, which are enchanted though). It means that I put lots of electronics on the bike including antennas and self built weapons.

I'm having an issue with lights. They are constructed on SM bikes and I will include led lights on it with button batteries but the battery's case is a few centimeters larger that the backside of bike where I'm going to put that thing. Light itself is in the front, just like in normal bike but I'll replace it with real LED.

So, how do I make the back larger and it would still look good? I have this idea of boxed-type of back but what do you thin, how could it do?

Put the batteries in the base, instead of on the bike: run it through the wheel into the base.
Or ammo boxes/saddle bags.

That would work. I should only hide where the wires are going to on the side of a base. I kind of want to keep that wire visible on the bike to give it better look and fitting to my theme.
Since I use cork on my bases, I could hide the battery under one piece. This is actually good one.

Thanks for an idea!

Here's what I've done this far:







EDIT (Idon'tevencount): Yay! Now they work!
Anyway, as you can see, the guy has nothing to control the bike with. It's because it's in progress. The LED will go inside it. This guy doesn't seem to control the bike anyway. I guess I have to make some kind of worm familiar to play with the buttons.

And I'm not satisfied with that stomach. It needs work too. If nothing else works, it will have big, nurgly tummy.
