RE: momentary switch????????????

I posted this before, I bought the HD auxilary switch housing that mounts to the control (left or right). It holds 3 switches, I just used one of those, and it doesn't look odd.. it looks factory. Got a Genie garage door opener from Home Depot, and you are ready to go.

Went to the website of the "Autoswitch". For $30 it sure seems to be the answer to the garage door opener fix. I look forward to hearing how it goes.

I used a small momentary button switch I got at radio shack. drilled a hole in the middle of the switch blank next to the Aux switch and then bought the rubber button cover from the odometer switch to cover it. If you want I can snap a photo of it.

could you please? i was thinkin that EXACT thing but wondered bout the water. like the idea of the odometer switch cover. was at the dealer yesterday (great exp BTW) but "kid" on the counter didnt know anything and said ihad tobuy a two -three -or 4 button harness to get an oe switch.

It went well! I have a Genie garage door opener and it happens to run on 12 VDC. I soldered 2 wires off thebutton inside a spare remote that I had. The Auto Switch connects to 12VDC along with the remote. Both are grounded and the Auto Switch gets it's trigger from the high beam wire that goes to theheadlight itself.

ALED is also included so you can tell if your garage door remote has been activated.I mounted the LED above and center of my speedometer and tach. It turns on red when the bike is powered up, it flashes green/red when you toggle the high beam switch and it goes solid green when the remote had been activated.

This is very easy and straight forward on an Ultra once you remove the outside fairing half. Every connection is done there and both the remote and Auto Switch are hidden there as well.

The remote/Auto Switch are together on top of the stereo next to the CB.

Here are a few photos:
