Garage Door Opener

RE: Garage Door Opener
I integrated an opener like others, but I included an LED to tell me when I press it and I also didn't destroy the circuit board. I mounted it on the black plastic above the side fairings....it's a black button and looks like it belongs there. If I can, I will post a picture of where I mounted it. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures during install, but if you like how I did it, I can do a mini write up explaining what I did. I will try to post the pics tonight.
Where I put it, I can just slide my hand off the brake and hit the button with my thumb. It looks real slick and cost me all of $8 or so. It's also nice in that I kept the whole remote with battery so I am not reliant on my bike battery. Also, because it's not tethered to the battery, I can remove just that plastic piece and the whole assembly comes with it. Further, I put plugs on the end of the LED and the switch so if and when I move, it's just a matter of re-wiring a new opener and plugging it into the switch and LED. The opener is mounted with velcro under the plastic so it's completely protected from water which kept me from having to "waterproof" the whole thing. All-in-all it turned out pretty sweet and works like a charm.
