Not sure who would be interested in doing this or not but anyways here are a few pics of the garage door opener mod I did with a HD FLHX CVO electric bag lock (momentary) switch. A 12v 3 button Genie remote was used. Button 1 was soldered to switch and +/- is going to the cigarette lighter for a switched power source.

 

# 6 - # 10

 

# 11 - # 15

 

all done and it works great !!!

 

Well this is a Kick A$$ write up! Great idea and execution!

Think this can go in the DIY sticky also, so it doesn't get lost in other posts?

 

oh yeah do you have a part number for the switch?

Not to hijack....but maybe someone else will remember. I know you did yours with a GENIE. I remember seeing one done in the same manner with a CHAMBERLAIN, which is what I have.

Anyone else remember???

BTW....great job on yours!!!

I did the exact same mod with an Overhead Door brand remote which was 12 volt. If you want to do this mod with a remote that isn't 12 volt, either skip hooking it up to bike power and use a battery, or use a Radio Shack voltage step-down (cheap) to get from the bike's 12 volts to whatever your remote needs.

 

Good deal.
