garage door opener mod

[oldndumb]

For the life of me, I cannot understand why anyone would go to the trouble of klugeing up a remote / screwing up their switch housing / adding extra switches / carry spare remotes in bags or elsewhere when the Flash2Pass is so cheap and easy to install!?!

Just my opinion, others may have erroneous opinions.

I was just looking at the F2P setup, how does that work? Details...

Based on this video Flash2Pass looks like a much bigger pain to install than the mod I did.

I ran two wires on my bike to my existing Garage Door opener under the seat and mounted the button on the handlebars. Done. Took about 25 minutes and cost me under $10.  Plus I get to tell people what the little red button does. And the reaction is always...

 DucDucGoos, The video in Duckoff's post is pretty spot on, except it is easier on a Monster. The headlight wires are at the connector on left side of headstock. Really simple, and not polarity dependent.

Obviously, as seen from the posts, there are several options re a garage door opener. For me, the F2P offered the most trouble free one. I'll confess that I had previously done the on board opener with an aux button, but encountered problems. A failed Radiddyo Shack button and a dead battery motivated me to try the F2P. Since then I've put one on three bikes.

Why not just pick up another remote, slip off the mounting bracket, and put it in your pocket?

They're about the size of a key fob and can be had for $40.00 or less. No modifications required. Just tap your kevlar jeans pocket as you approach your driveway and, presto, the inner sanctum awaits!

This is what I did after contemplating the situation for a couple years, and it couldn't be simpler. The hardest part was programming the new remote to the door opener. And even I could figure that out.

I also just grabbed a key fob remote from Lowes and put it on my key chain.

These mods are pretty cool though.

I just use one of these, attached to my bike ignition key.  It is waterproof and dangles in the well, between the tank and the triple, with the ignition so is easy to reach and press.  It is then in my pocket if I go for a walk, as the garage is the main entrance to the house.
