No, it has to be very firm and flush against something flat, so it stays put when I flick the switch.

Multiple zip-ties? ;)

There are some heat resistant plastic cements on the market.

jbweld? heh

two L brackets screwed into something solid, with 12mm seperation, then use the switches' normal nut to secure it :P

This is what it looks like now.

I just can't bring myself to drill into anything.

Go to a hobby shop and get some servo tape, it is just really strong double sided tape with a tight foam core so it can handle some shocks. 3M makes some.

That or a dab of CA (super glue)

Yes, I used that 3M servo tape. The glue turns to lube in this heat. I have to hold the switch with one hand while flicking the toggle with the other. It worked fine until about mid-May. I'm gonna try some serious glue.

That toggle switch looks a little unwieldy. I suggest a small illuminated push ON-push OFF switch mounted on a metal bracket attached to the existing panel. A remote telltale LED status lamp and a separate miniature switch accomplishes the same effect.

OTOH, a physically smaller capacity switch with a remote relay can perform the current switching from battery to fog lights. This option can use thin gauge control wires up to the handlebar area and avoid routing, protecting and hiding large gauge wires up from the battery and then to the fog lamps.

In the end, I think the objective is to maintain a "close-to-factory" appearance.

I just slapped a zip tie on it and tied it to a braided steel brake line and other cable going up the handlebars. That'll do until I figure something else out. I have some magnets and tiny, thin steel plates from a name tag that would probably hold fast if I glue one of the plates to the side of the inst. cluster. Those magnets are crazy strong and about the size of aspirin tablets.

I like the way you think. Take two rolls of duct tape out of petty cash...

servo tape AND a custom bent metal bracket

I've seen purported pros take 4" screws and drive them through the side of the cluster. Or the ECU. Depends on how much more you want to put into repairs.

Seriously, though, I think it's be easy to fab a small bracket that could be affixed to the side of the cluster. I've found that some glues termed "heavy duty construction adhesive" work on smooth plastics if you give them an innocuous sanded patch to grip to . . .

if your dont want to drill and tap
two part epoxy...wont turn to lube in the heat
