That is pretty cool. I used some double sided tape and attached a garage door key fob inside the headlight frame. When I want to open the garage, I just turn the bars and reach behind the gap there to hit the button. A little trickier, but it works well.

Great idea. I went by dealer today to get the parts and the parts guy said, "didn't know you bought anything that wasn't chrome." ouch

Holy double resurrected thread BatMan. This one just keeps coming back to the top.

I guess good ideas never die.

I said it before and will say it again, it never ceases to amaze me what Harleys guys can think of and mod out once they put their minds to it! I HATE fumbling for my dang opener while trying to one hand it into the driveway so it opens and I don't have to stop and fiddle around. My question is if you use that button for the opener does it then affect the intended use of re-zeroing your milage and stuff like that? Maybe I am just not getting a clear picture in my mind of what to do, whats left of my mind that is! It sure looks cool though, I would love to rig one out on my bike too!!!

Page 11 references with pics the parts needed from the dealer, you purchase a second reset switch.

This has been one of the most useful things that I have done to my bike for over a year.
