Garage door opener

[Bike44]

I posted this in another thread in the Garage section:

New topic. I have a left over unused garage door opener from my HD days that needs to find a home in the F6B. Skylink makes them for HD. There's a receiver Skylink P/N 838R that plugs into a wall outlet in the garage and connects to the door's motor via two wires, and either of two transmitters that Skylink sells. One is a typical small two button battery powered unit Skylink P/N 838T that is currently velcroed to my F6B over that storage cover above. The other is a neat gizmo HD P/N 91561-01B (also here) that intercepts the bike's high beam power wire and a battery/ground connection. Flip the high beams on and off and the door opens. It mounts hidden in the cowl. It may be a proprietary HD unit as they sell them via dealers.

Maybe this already exists in some form elsewhere. It sure is handy.

Similar to the Flash to Pass unit.

Both work well, or install a momentary switch wired into your regular door opener, cheaper, and easy to do without fumbling for the opener in your pocket. This usually also gets you much better range.

I have my garage door opener velcroed to the inside of the fairing pocket. No fumbling. Easy-peasy.

Here's the F2P door opener mentioned above and a good source: http://www.electricalconnection.com/...age-opener.htm

Might be easier to find than the HD unit I mentioned and is reported to be the same unit in maybe different packaging.
