I am working on mounting a DPDT momentary rocker switch on both of my bikes to control both of my remotes in one switch (garage and gate). On the Ninja I don't have a passing light and I don't want to wire them to the horn button, so I am using a dual switch (see picture) that measures about 15mm x 20mm.  It isn't waterproof, plus I need a "base" to mount it in and velcro it somewhere because there is no safe place to cut a hole and mount it to the farings.  My thought was to find a small black box of some sort that is very shallow and has a lid that snaps open and closed. That way I could mount the button in there to protect it from the elements and as well that would give me something to use to stick the "box" to the side of the console somewhere with velcro or sticky tape and not have to do any drilling. Yes, I can get a waterproof switch, but they are quite expensive and also quite a bit larger....and either way I still have to have a mounting point so just getting a waterproof switch doesn't solve m mounting issue.

So...I am sitting here trying to think of where I can get or re purpose a "little black box" that is about 20mm x 25mm (just a bit bigger than the switch) that has a lid that snaps open and closed, etc.  

Any ideas come to mind for you folks? I am going to rummage through all of my shop stuff and see what I may have saved over the years and maybe even stop by Hobby Lobby and see if they have any little trinkets.

And yes, JOG, I am making a science project out of this.  Sorry.  

12Bravo - Good idea.  I looked at similar switches but my dilemma is (a) I would have to have two push button switches because I have two remotes that I need to engage separately, and (b) I still need a place/way to mount.

Aside from the waterproof concern, I don't have a place to drill a hole(s) in the bike itself to mount a round or rectangular switch so I still need a mounting point. So my thought of a "box" gives me a place to mount the switch in/on and then a flat surface to adhere the box to the bike somewhere.

NOTE: My single switch is a dual momentary rocker. One way engages one remote, other way engages the other remote.

Well...well...well...

This would work, but I think I need a 1" for the Savage, and for the Ninja I could find a bundle of wires or something to tie it to.

Cool.  I'm going to maybe play around with what I have (the SWITCHES!) this weekend and if I can't come up with a mount that I am happy with I might get one of those and try it out.

My dual switch is already pretty tiny. I have a rectangular one with long side  about the length of a nickel, and a round one about as round as a penny.  Since it is a dual rocker I get 2 for 1 with a single switch install.

I wonder if you can buy this.....and replace the rocker switch with the double one that you have?

Or....this one mos likely has momentary switches, as it controls a hoist/winch.

The worst part about those really cheap rocker switches found...is that the delivery time is guaranteed to occur within 60 days!

Oh...but I am a sly fox  

I made sure to order from a US retailer (on fleabay) with 3-5 business day shipping.  Costs about double the price ($4 per switch versus $2 from China) so hopefully someone here in the US has already handled and repackaged them and rubbed off most of the toxic chemicals by the time they get to me.

Seriously...have you spent much time in Harbor Freight?  Man...the chemical smell from all of their plastic molded tools and gadgets is overwhelming.  That doesn't stop me from buying what I need, but I don't recommend letting your kids chew on anything you buy from there.
