Instead of buying a ready made unit I wired a remote to the high beam using a relay. Tucked everything under the seat and its been working great for the past 5 years with no problem. I hit the high beam down the block and the doors is open and ready for docking of the Big Twins.

Hey Ultra, glad you got it working! I almost hooked mine up wrong because the yellow wire on mine (supposed to be white & black wires on 08) looked so faded light yellow that I couldn't tell which was which. Like I said in the video, it wasn't until I got a really bright flashlight right on them that I could tell the difference. Range is limited and maybe Flash2Pass should update their instructions, but, overall it's a great product. I hope this thread will come in handy to someone installing one in the future.

 

With all the rain, I haven't taken the bike out, but it does work with the fairing back on, so I'm happy. I agree that it's a great idea and seems like a great product, just the instructions are a little lacking. Anyone who turns wrenches probably would have figured out the problem in two seconds, but I'm the kind of guy that requires three trips to the parts store to get it right.

I did send the company an email with what transpired, so maybe they'll update the instructions for the next guy like me.

 

bookmarked, just picked mine up. Going in this weekend.

 

That will make those late nights a little easier getting in!

 

I found a garage door opener that clipped perfectly to the side of my windshield bag, works great!

 

This item is going on the Santa list today. Thanks for the info.

 

I didn't feel like spending that kind of money so I bought a $7 remote from ebay, $18 relay (had some different colored wire already)and got it all wired up under my seat. Works like a charm with no need to do anything with the switch on the wall of the garage or anything on the house.

 

Wow. Just found this thread. Went to Amazon and ordered. Can't wait!

$57 delivered to my door.

My low-tech fix was to remove the circuit board from the housing on an extra remote, solder wires onto the electric lead/pad on the Circuit board where the opener button contacts, and connect the other end of the wires to a momentary push button switch that I had in my parts bin. I then put the switch into a ball of play dough that I formed a truncated teardrop depression into, and potted the switch in JB WELD. When cured I hit it with Black textured paint and when dry stuck it onto the Brake fluid housing.

The "Exposed" circuit board was zipped into a baggy and tucked beneath the bread box Speedo/Tach on my bike to make it water resistant. .

Works fine, over 1 year now and I haven't even had to change the battery.

Granted I have a couple of hours into it, but I was fun to use "Stuff" that I had laying around to get a remote on the bike.

Oh-yea to increase the range I added some length to the Antennae wire hanging off the back of my garage door opener. Just a couple more inches did it for me.
