    My 6 has the button all ready installed on the handlebars from the factory, I just need the organic, mechanical opening component to complete my system.

    I just used regular Homelink setup

    It was a year or so back, but I believe it was about $20 on ebay, pulled from the visor of a BMW. The under the buttons you see is a sheet of rubber which conforms to the button spacing, with little extensions to reach the actual board underneath. Once locked into place, there is really no chance of a water leak. Works great so far.

    +1 on the Flash2Pass for motorcycles. It is hidden and you can't loose or misplace it. Also don't need to take your hands off the handlebars to operate it.

    + another! A very convenient device. I like that it won't function unless the bike is running. No worries when the bike is sitting in the driveway.

    Garage door opener

    What I did was this: I purchased a garage door opener FOB off ebay. It is small about two inches long and 3/4 inch wide. After I programed it and made sure it worked I put it on my key ring for my bike. I then took a piece of one inch shrink tube, cut it to overlap each end about 1/4 inch and then used my heat gun to shrink it. I "crimped" the ends with pliers while it was still hot. When it cooled I trimmed the ends with scissors. Perfect waterproof solution.

    I have my garage door opener Velcro mounted wit it in the lower left corner.
    I did not want to block the power port.

    How did you do that, did you disassemble a remote, solder a switch into it, then hide the remote in there or what??

    I'm doing this! So any heads up before I start will be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance, Ed

    (btw, couldn't you find that switch in chrome?)

    No chrome but it does have a pretty green light !!! Open the remote, solder a jumper wire between the contacts that activate the opener..2 feet of wire and then wire that into a momentary switch... pretty easy...there is a diagram on another post...sorry to busy to look for it...but will try later !
