"DIY MODS" and TRICKS to SAVE $$$$$$

Yes Garage door openers have been done but...
I know a garage door opener has been done as a cheap mod, but I wanted to add this little gem since I avent seen it yet.
I have a 13 Ultra classic and dont use the intercom since I replaced all my audio with aftermarket. I wanted to do something with the intercom plug on the dash. After looking for ideas one member suggested in a joke adding a red ejector button. After a while I really liked the idea of the look so I modified a red button hidden behind the spring flap so still hidden. It controls my garage door. sodered to original garage door opener hidden in dash as well.

Here's an easy and quick way to get rid of that ridiculous antenna on the 2014 SG without paying for an overpriced internal antenna. Remove your left side saddlebag, and you will see the bracket for your stock antenna. There are two holes in it. One holds the antenna mount, and the other routes the antenna cable to the antenna. Remove the bracket, and then remove the antenna wire, which is held in place by a rubber grommet. Remove the antenna mount from the hole it is secured in and mount it in the hole where the rubber grommet was. Then you can run your stock antenna up along the frame of the bike, above the left side cover and under the seat. Bolt the bracket back in its original position, put your saddlebag back on, and you now have a completely hidden antenna that still gets good reception. Run by the dealership and get another plug for your fender to match the one on the other side, and you are good to go.

This is a great thread. I especially like the garage door opener mod. Would love to put a momentary rocker switch in one of the empty accessory blanks on my SG. Anybody know who might sell a switch like that?
EDIT - I spent some time looking through the threads last night. Found this post:https://www.hdforums.com/forum/4594153-post366.html
that was exactly what I needed.
