You could probably get away with zip-ties. I mean it's not like it's in a stressful area where it will be getting tugged on hard enough to break multiple zip-ties.

I need something to plug the end where the bar goes through...something rubber would be nice.
Kinda hard to see the U bolt.

You could go for a real clean look and ditch the box all together and run the wires to switches on your console. Really is not that hard I did it in a XP Summit last winter for a friend. Looked great. Totally got rid of the bulky box and really opened up the bars. Plus there is no bumping them when you ride hard.
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.

Its really not that hard. And they dont need to be Doo switches.

The cleanest way to do it IMO. Most factory setups are excessively bulky if you ask me. But then again, an easy to use control system is probably key for most consumers. Whatever works for you though...that's the main thing...

A mountain lion roaming the prairie found a bull, killed it and ate the entire bull. With a heavy belly, unable to walk, the lion laid in the tall grass moaning and roaring. Soon a hunter, attracted by the roaring, shot and killed the lion.
Moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut!

Electrical kits to mount on the riser is a product that I was working on in the product conception phase.
Basically doing what you guys are suggesting here by uning after market switches,
but then mounting them into a little control panel cut from stainless sheet and then mounting that to the risers or center of bars with the P shaped mounts that normally hold electrical stuff.
Look at the after market buttons in the Western Power book and also at the auto parts stores.
