The ballast bits dont seem huge, so how about mounting them on the inside of the frame somewhere, under the tank, similar to the reg/rec ?

Don`t know how much heat the ballasts give out either.
Or, how about behind the rear seat, side plastic panels, fixed to the frame somehow.

I got rid of rad expansion tank and put it in there. Hang expansion tank in front of rad instead. Horn compressor and ballast fit in that space.
