I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I’d have used a u-bolt… You know, rather than drilling through my dental insurance.

Creative but I think I would have went for one of them handlebar extensions or barends placed in the middle of the handlebar and stick the shifters in the barend tube.

I guess when all you have is bar end shifters…
