Garage Door Opener
I thought I would post this up on how I did my garage door opener. I figured since I wasn't using my power port I could put a switch there. So I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Yakamoz-Mount...s=22mm+yakamoz
as well as this:
https://www.amazon.com/Yakamoz-Conne...s=22mm+yakamoz
and did a little soldering to wire it up to a garage door opener I already had. I also wired up a couple of spade terminals to get power from the plug the power port was connected to light up the switch. Power to that port was only on when the ignition is on, so the switch is only illuminated when the ignition is on.
The 22mm switch fits just right in that hole, i did use the little plastic washer from the power port and just cut the plug off so it would fit a little better.
I ended up putting the opener inside the fairing and attaching it just to the underside of the glove box with some clear extreme fastener (from Home Depot) that way I can take it out when I need to replace the battery.

YMMV but bought a Taiddan Garage Door Opener system from eBay for $75 with two remotes. Wired one to the Harley and the other to the Goldwing. Not only works great but the range is considerably better than the hand held units I was using.

How exactly did you hook it up? I'm definitely going to do this for my gate opener. It will be much easier than the way I do it now. Maybe a drawing of the way you hooked up the wiring. Thanks

Here are two pics of how I soldered the wires. It's prob not the best job but it works for me.
Each remote may be different but basically you just have to find out which positions on that button you have to solder the wires to. You can either use a voltmeter and set it to ohms and test, or you can use a piece of wire to make contact/short it and see what activates the door.
In these pictures the black and white wire go to the NO positions on the diagram for that switch on Amazon. I know in my picture in the original post it looks green, these pictures are from another one that I did.
Basically if you use the plug adapter, the green wires will be soldered to the garage door opener and the red and black are for the power.
Hope this is helpful!
