I like the ingenuity and neat work!

I don't think it would last long for me though. I ride in a lot of rain and water does get up in the cowbell.

Have to admire your creativity and workmanship! But for guys like me who lack the skill set to do what you did, a good option is to carry around a mini remote like this:

ha ha ha... yea, that would work too! I just noticed that I had a garage clicker and thought, "there's got to be somewhere I can mount this". It was 50% for utility, 50% for fun.

I'm with Junior Samples, right McGyverish of you! Probably could put a coat of sealant of some type on the card to protect it against moisture/water.

I'm digging it!
Wondering if you could piggyback the power to the horn and use it......? Maybe have to add a relay like Alex did? I don't know enough to predict with any accuracy....just enough to burn my bike down.

If I carried my bike keys then that mini clicker would be useful. Instead I just use this. Takes just a second to pull out phone and its open when I pull in.

Dig the ingenuity! I build points on my HD Visa...and lazy maybe. I put the expensive HD unit on my Bob and couldn't be happier with it. Running down the alley, flip from bright to dim or dim to bright and the door is open by the time I hit the door. Roll right in.

Just get a remote. Cheaper and you still have to dig it out of your pocket.
