Built in garage door remote mod
« on: July 11, 2017, 03:22:33 AM »

I had been carrying my garage door remote in my pocket or bag but I wanted to have it on the bike. I was going to just Velcro it on the bike but weather, losing it, and theft made me rethink that option. I got some small waterproof push buttons on eBay. The plan was to solder some longer wires inside the remote, hide the unit inside the "tank " somewhere and mount the button in the bodywork. Once I removed the left side panel, I realized there is all kinds of room under there. Decided to just mount it under there where I could easily press the button with my gloves on. I used some strong trim adhesive 2 sided tape. Cleaned the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. Reassembled and working great! Stay tuned for the garage turntable build so I can open the door, ride in, and close door. Then I can spin it 180 degrees and rip right out!

Brilliant! Hadn't thought of that!
