What do all of you do about garage door openers when you ride? I saw this on ebay: motorcycle garage remote. Then this gave me the idea of using a regular remote and wiring an external switch to it.

 

that would be sweet, I just take mine out of my car and put it in my jacket

 

ive seen garage door openers wired to the high beam switch, but nothing like this

 

I put the remote in my tankbag or leave it in a pocket where it's easy to press the button.

 

I just velcored mine up under my windscreen. Its a tiny craftsman one. works fine and you don't see it at all

 

I just use my key to open up the regular door, walk over and press the garage door button from the inside.

 

I just keep it in my jacket pocket, don't even need to open it to press the button.

 

I don't even have a garage door opener in my car, let alone on my bike.

I'm too cheap to buy one Going inside and opening it from the house ftw

 

i've got a keychain sized one that i've put on my mc keys.

 

I just ride through the garage door

 

I holla at my door like Bubb Rubb and **** opens right up.

 

walk in and open it FTL, thats what i do and hate it.

Same here. I bought a replacement Black&Decker remote that works on their electronic door looks as well as other things and just zip tied it to my handlebars. I would have put it on my keys like you but my bike doesn't have keys. lol

This is what I have:


I guess technicaly it's made by kwikset but B&D owns them.

why go through all the trouble of wiring something up.

is it really that big of a deal to keep it in your jacket pocket or even your trunk?

+1

On the SV I can open it and pull in without stopping. I have to stop at the end of the driveway with the cruiser because of where the ignition is but I can still do it without looking.

It actually just floats in mid-air on the triple tree but it's plastic so it doesn't really matter anyway. I did have a problem with it marking up the white oil tank of the Aero so I just put a piece of vecro on the back so it'll tuck up under and not blow around.

 

I just put mine on my jacket and press it when I get home... alot of people over at 600rr.net were talking about this... they said they were hooking it up to the high beam

 

I dont even usualy shut my garage door.

Same here but I just bought one and decided not to install it since I'm moving in a month. Too lazy to install it and take it back out later
