It won't dangle from the bars and certainly not fancy but have had this remote petrol tank for well over 20yrs, works perfect for multiple applications. An old Tecumseh seem brazed tank slightly modified. YES, lawn mower variety. I don't trust those "motion-pro type plastic ultrasound welded tanks. I've a couple new plastic 5gallon tanks that are breaking from the seems.

I use a Motion Pro aux tank:
www.motionpro.com/product/08-0032
It holds a half-gallon so it's a little bigger than you requested, but it's not huge. Looks like they go for $65.99 these days.
I should mention that this model is just for gravity feed / carbureted bikes. If you want to use it on any fuel-injected bikes you'll need the deluxe version.

Been using one of these for about 20 years, still going strong.
I'd imagine it's just a badged generic from China so could be bought loads cheaper.

I made up this little 1 gallon auxiliary tank stand about 10 years ago with stuff I had lying around the garage, other than the shutoff valve it was free.
