Thanks for all the info guys, i have learned alot from everybody. i actually was thinking about purchasing the HD garage door opener kit until i got some ideas from this site. what i did was solder wires to opener then conect them to a momentary contact toggle switch and installed the switch to an existing hole in the frame works like a charm and looks good thanks again.

Thanks Raxus. I love that sig pic man. She's frickin' hypnotic....getting sleepy....very sleepy....[sm=insomnia.gif]

I had a big time bone-head accident the other night, so I had to pull my fairing yesterday to do some minor repairs. Below are a couple more little things I did tonight while it was off.

Pics #1 & 2 Here's my version of the GarageDoor Opener mod.Had a spareCraftsman opener thatI paintedblack.Purchased the HD OdometerReset Button #67854-98 $9.95 and the rubber boot #67880-94$2.95 & some male/female shielded connectors.I cut the wires on the momentary switch in half and soldered the ends of two to the terms in the opener. Then crimped the male/female connectors on all four ends. This gave me the openerwith wires coming out of a hole going to the switch with QD's in the middle. Cut down some of the material under the glove box lid and drilled a hole in the front ofit. Mounted it all up with the screw on boot, and some HD velcro underneath. It works great and is easily removeable for batery change or throwing into another vehicle.

The scratches on the door are from and old cell phone mount I had there for my MP3 player. Next time I find $40 in the couch cushions, I'll proly replace it and redo the opener and B&S emblem.

Pic #3 Wanted to see what the red lighted guages look like. The lights in all the small guages just pop in. The Speedo and Tach are sealed units. I don't know if it's possible to change them. I'll see how this looks on my next night ride. So far, I kinda like it.

Also threw some poly-fill quilt batting inside the fairing, to back pack the Hog Wired speakers for a little better sound.

Next will probably come the Tune Trapper and an Hogtunes fairing amp.

I have some of that Profinish protective film coming in the mail. I'll probably do some detailed pics and a detailed write up of that install.

Side note...Then, after I got it all buttoned up,two of the windshield grommets were damaged in the accident and broke off whileI was reinstalling the shorty shield. The last thing I had to do. I'm hoping I don't have to remove the fairingagain to replace, butI have a funny feeling I will have to.[:@]

Anyone know what these little rubber nuts cost?Or a part number?

I carefully pulled the reflectors of my bag latches, cleaned off the doulbe stick tape, sanded down the back side to remove the form marksand lightly painted them gloss black. I then reapplied them to the opposite side (since they are mirror image,) black out with double stick tape. Reflectors gone and it looks much better. Cost ZERO!
