Flash2Pass garage door opener questions
Doing a bunch of work under the fairing and to my front lights this winter, and figured I'd go ahead and install a garage door opener as well since I hate pulling into the driveway and having to hop off the bike. I came across the Flash2Pass on Amazon while looking around for a solution that wasn't as costly as the HD opener.
For those of you that have the Flash2Pass, do you like it? My main question is the range. I live in a subdivision, so my garage door is perpendicular to the street at a slight offset angle from the direction I'm coming, and I really don't have a good line of sight to it until I'm about 2 houses away. Does the range of the F2P seem to be as good as a traditional opener?
Did you mount your F2P opener in the headlamp housing, or did you just strap it to something under your fairing?
Looks like a pretty easy install. I'd probably mount the receiver up on the ceiling next to the opener components and tap the lines there, since it doesn't need line of sight to work.
Anything I need to be aware of regarding the F2P system before I pull the trigger and order one? Thanks!

I put one on my bike. I got it from Eastern Performance. The range is about 100ft. My transmitter is in side my headlight bucket which probably reduces the range. However, it is plenty far enough for the door to open before I get to it. I think it is a great product.

Ive got one on the fxr and the range isnt all that good....2 houses away or so. On the Road Glide I just used the other remote for the opener, wired the push button circuit to a small push button on the fairing cap and velcro'ed it up under the fairing. Works great, better range and the batteries in those last forever anyway. Do a search, many good installs with details on here.

I have the Flash to Pass on my Ultra Classic. I mounted all the electrical components in the fairing. Works great and was very easy to install. I don't know why you'd mount the receiver on the ceiling. The Receiver should be mounted by the man door where you walk into and out of your garage. It has a switch in it so you can open the garage door when you enter to go for a ride and close the door behind you when you park the bike after you return from a ride.

Wow! You guys give me hope again. I have one and it only works inside the garage. If I close my garage door and sit right outside, it won't work. I talked to F2P and they said they had found a bad batch and sent me a new one and it still doesn't work outside the garage. Maybe I'll check my installation. I may not be as brilliant as I thought.

Figured I'd figure out a way to tap into the lines from the opener before they go through the ceiling.
