Yeah, I know there's a big DIY garage door opener thread, but it seems
that they all had a "console" or fairing installed with which to locate/hide
a flush-mount switch. I dont want to use the High-beam or Horn
buttons for activation either. I've already got a small flush mount momentary
switch and small door-remote, but what I'm struggling with is where to mount
it or what to mount it in (small tubular survival container?).

I'm considering locating the button on the RH oil-bag cover.
I think a small tubular container would fit between the risers.

Anyone else do something cool or clever to hide it, yet still be within reach ?
(and no I dont want to just zip-tie an exposed opener on the handlebar)

Thanks for any ideas (pictures are a plus)

I have a keychain remote attached to my key. You should be able to get a small universal one and program it to your opener.

Like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Chamberla...00-6/206198700

 

Yep, almost what I have

But what I'm wanting to do is "permanently" mount it on the bike, out of sight, and activated by a .

I dont want to have to dig in a pocket or have it dangling below my relocated
coil (ign switch is above coil). Make sense?

thanks again,

Does it work well? I am okay with leaving with my ignition key. My garage door opener is in my saddlebag and a hassle to get to.

Also interested in what others have and where they mounted the remote...good thread.

 

I have a keychain opener attached as well, works great, especially with the DK relocation.

 

I'm too old school I guess. I still get off my bike, open my truck or the wife's car and punch the remote on the visor. What I want is an app on my iPhone. Looking into that one.

 

I built a small box lined with foam & attached it to the handlebars for my remote. When I am within range I simply press the button and BAM! the door opens for me. KISS

 

i stopped keeping one on my chain. they kept breaking.... i think the vibes and bouncing around killed them.

So what are you using and where did you mount....or do you just not carry one now.

 

Thanks. It is cheap enough to try it if there are no other suggestions.
