Question 5in Gauge Mount?

Ok.... Tried using the search function but didn't find an answer, and I may be in the wrong section. But here goes....

I have a 2012 Superglide Custom with the dash in the center console. I'm looking to acquire (buy, trade, whatever...), a center-fill style superglide tank (07-10 I believe are the years). I just found out I've got a kid on the way, so my full blow dual gauge conversion isn't gonna happen as soon as I thought. I figured I can satisfy myself for now using the single gauge from the dash and just mounting it on my bars like the other single gauge dynas. Theres only one problem. The single Center gauge on my bike is a 5inch gauge. I cant seem to find one other than say, autometer tach/gauge pod, which isn't weather resistant.

So my question is ultimately, is there (to buy), or has someone made, a 5inch gauge mount for bars? I can make the clamps and adapters to fit my bars. But I need a cup to mount the unit to and it be sealed.

I already tried that. Like I said in my original post, They aren't weather resistant. So water and other elements will seep into the cup and affect the electronics.

Try looking at PVC pipe. Paint it, and use a PVC cap for the end.
