Trying to find some do it yourself ideas without having to sift through half of them talking about a garage door opener. Trying to not be rude but that subject was beat to death. Can we have ideas and sift out the reposts and keep it going

It's up there...just sift through a page or 2 at a time.

while the GDO is a silly subject, this can be a gateway to Riders trying their first wiring job on a vehicle. And getting warm fuzzy feeling the first time they see the thing open up for them

I'm not near as an active poster as some/most but I've read most of the posts over the last several years and often thought the very thing. The ranger v8 forum I'm on has a similar thread that the mods have stripped it of all the repeats... Anyhow, lots of good stuff in there though.

Ya, I have been waiting for the GDO people to finally come up with a Automatic Can Opener mod for their bikes.

Give us a few clues of what you are looking for and we may be able to help. Asking an open question for 'ideas' is not the way to start!

Same thing I was thinking. Perhaps he wants a dedicated DIY forum sans garage door opener ideas. Not clear.

I think he was talking about that thread.... and doesn't want to read about garage openers.


Maybe he doesn't know about the "search this thread" link in the upper right of that page.
