Garage door opener? - Honda CBR250R Forum : Honda CBR 250 Forums

I'm trying to put a button a garage door opener button somewhere on the bike for the wife. On the CBR600 that I'm taking it off of, I built a momentary relay and hooked it up to the high beam switch. But that's a PITA to do, and didn't really work out for a couple of reasons.

So, what have you guys done?

Open Sesame!

Mini key-ring opener -- hangs on the bike key ring. $22 on Amazon. No wiring, portable, takes up no room... works.

Ba-da-boom.

But, r100's solution has its advantages... (shorter skirt might work, too).

Yep, that's probably the e-ticket right there. I was wondering if there was plenty of room in there for that, though I might use a smaller button.

On my cruiser I put the unit under my seat with a button under the lip of the tank. Unknown to me, the seat was pushing the button on the actual remote going down the road and killed the batter inside a couple months.

I move allot, but always have a garage door opener. In the last 6 years we have lived in 5 different homes in 2 states and we are finally building a home to settle down in

With all of these, I have used a mini-opener on the keychain. I think each house had 3 different brand operiers but they all had a mini option.

I'm actually wondering the same thing, as I am in a condo which has 2 'requirements' -- a gate at street level, and the actual garage door. Considering I only have their 'iPhone-sized' opener, I'm looking for other options that can be programmed like HomeLink (have that in the car, and it works beautifully)

This is my bikes "homelink"

Nobody can even tell that it's not factory in person.

Will that work with a Chamberlain garage door opener? I have one of those keypads outside but it would just suck to have to get off my bike everytime I come home...
