My latest lazy man device
#11
Been doing the exact same thing for years. But now, out of the blue my garage door opener screw, or whatever it's called has a 4 inch gap where the threads are just gone! I can't understand it at all. So you go to open the garage door. It opens up to that point (about half way), and stops. Motor keeps going and has a nice loud buzzing sound as the screw just keeps spinning. So you have to go up to garage door and push it up until it catches the threads past the gap. Ganna have to get that fixed before next spring. Probably costs a fortune. I wouldn't know.

Those small opener remotes are called "key chain remotes" because they're designed to fit on your key chain. All garage door opener companies make 'em.
I wired a standard remote to one of the switches on the handle bars for the radio so I don't have anything showing. I also wired it to bike power so I don't have to replace batteries. Mounted it under the fairing. It's been openin' & closin' the garage for 4 years now.

I have to say that that's ugly. I have the same opener and opened it up and figured out where I could solder wires to the switch. I then ran the wires out and connected a lever switch from Fry's that cost $2.50. Then I used JB weld to glue the switch to the backside of the left heatshield and tie wrapped the controller inside the fuse box. Can't see a thing on the bike and it's very easy to reach down and hit the switch even with big gloves.
