I purchased a universal key chain garage door opener off Ebay for 15 bucks. I got tired of getting off my bike and walking up to the door to punch in the code on the key pad next to my garage door. This little opener came with a holster, so I mounted it on the inside of the door of the left cubby. Where are you guys mounting your garage door openers on your bikes.

Just kidding. I put a push button on the right side next to center compartment key cylinder and put the remote in right side mirror.
Sorry no pic. The button I used is a Harley :shhh: speedometer reset.

Right compartment, take of lid,velcro inside lid, and ran a wire from the inside connection of the opener to a radio Shack n/o $2 switch which is located above the compartment.

Mine is under the left pocket and wired to the turn signal cancel switch. I just hold the switch for a couple of seconds and the door opens. :icon_lol:

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.:icon_biggrin:

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.

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 did not want to block the power port.

Here...the black button...

I've been wanting to put something in that empty slot, and now I know what I want!

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 !
