I have performed the Garage door opener mod that is listed on this site.. It works well, but I had to buy a used garage door opener off e-bay, wait for it to arrive, do some soldering, buy a button, drill a hole, etc, etc..

This guy has improved the mod and installation is much quicker and easier...

If you can get it to work once.. Your probably good to go

I have a key fob sized  door opener with a switch wired across the button. I secured it to the front of the bike, painted the same color of the piece that it is attached to and most people seldom see it unless I point it out. The wired switch is located under the tank on the left side and works great.

Well crud!! I've had one of those for years, but must have wired it in backwards. When the horn goes off on mine, I jump up from the couch, run outside and help haul in the groceries.
I'd rather be outside than in.

Ahhh... You purchased the Auto version and not the motorcycle version..  :lol:

That was a popular video on the V4 site awhile back too.
One guy said he has a different "opener" for each of his bikes.   :shock:

If I only had a garage -- with a door. 

Well, one consolation -- with no door, one does not need an opener.

You are not paid for what you do, but rather for what you will do and when that time comes, you will be highly underpaid.

I got one years ago from J.C. Whitney.

Sounded the horn, the dog came to the fence, screwed his head sideways, flipped me "The Paw" and then walked away. :-?
