Garage door opener installed

bobzinger · 02-23-2008, 02:56 PM

Here's the switch and garage door remote I installed so all I have to do is hit the button coming down the street.

The switch.

The key fob remote. I opened it up and added two wires that go to the switch.

and the key fob remote is hidden by the new windshield bag I just installed.

That looks really clean!

I have one of the older style garage openers that have no small remotes available. When this one breaks down, I'll do an install like that.

Very nice job on the opener. I'm impressed. What kind of windshield bag do you have?

rlfaubion · 02-23-2008, 05:34 PM

LQQk'n slick - Good job Bob!!!

Nice job Bob!

That is a nice clean install. I like the bag-hidden remote approach.

I'm still stopping and reaching inside my windshield bag to open my garage door. First time I'm really in a hurry or caught in a bad rain I'll be wishing I had your approach!

Nice job Bobzinger..Wish I had that talent..

I also installed my garage door opener. Had some time on a Saturday to complete the installation. No drilling required. Stays put even at interstate speeds....

Good idea Bob, I put mine on with velcro to the bottom of my fairing, its almost invisible, but there when I need it.

I use a keyless entry keypad

I have to get off the bike and punch in the code.

I use my wife to open the door when i'm driving up. :-)

I use the "get off the bike and punch in the code" door opener. Works every time.

Mine is on my keychain w/ my Nomad key... it switches between the truck and the Nad... just reach down and push!! LOL!

That bag is a Hopnel velcro bag. I bought it off ebay for $47 shipped. Here's a link to the same thing on Cruiser Customizing.

Bob, thanks for the reply on the windshield bag. The picture shows what appears to be a plastic piece with slots cut to mount it to a windshield bar. How well did that match up to the Nomad windshield?
