Since joining HDForums and reading several (50 or 60) threads on how to incoporate or retro fit my garage door opener I came-up with this idea.

Here is what I did;

I purchased a power supply to add to my Ultra but could not come to grips on making a hole in my side panel. So this is what the power supply from HD looks like.



Take apart a 12V garage door opener.



Take pliers or wire cutters and squish the ends that hold the 12V battery to the garage door opener.



Solder a wire to the remote main button so it will always be on when it gets power.



Here is what the finish product looks like w/o the garage door remote cover.



Continued to the next message......

 

Here is the finished product ready to be plugged in



Plugging it in



To activate the garage door opener I turn the Accessory button on and off to send the signal.

Thanks and I hope this helps.

 

nice.......bet I could do the same install with velcro inside the King's nachelle using the to-date unused accessory switch.

 

I did basically the same thing except I just tapped the high beam side of the headlight. Flash the highs and door operates.

 

I am not sure which of you two is the most 'flash'! Good work anyway.

 

I Like it

 

Where does the remote sit? looks like it's laying on the ECM / battery.

Nice job.

 

Can you buy just the male plug with a pigtail that plugs under the seat without the 12 volt recepticle?

 

I found a spot in front of the battery box and twist tied the wires so it would not move. I would have a picture but my camera will not fit in the space.

 

Not sure if you can. It would be a good question for a HD dealer.
