Garage Door Remote

[billybovine]

I am setting up my new ST Limited up to my liking. I can't seem to find a good location for my garage door remote. On my GS there was a perfect location under the handlebars. It was out of sight and easy to get at. Cannot seem to find anything similar on the ST. Any ideas?

[ARtraveler]

I carry mine in the glove box. Out of sight and out of mind. Does the ST have one of those?

[billybovine]

No it doesn't. It would have been nice if it did.

Seems that is an accessory they should have? I learned something new again today. :thumbup:

I carry mine in the inside pocket of my riding jacket. I never take it out. It's always right there when I reach for it and I never have to worry about anyone taking it or messing with it.

On Sofia's RT it's velcrod to the underside of the dash cowling,on my RS it's under the windshield cowling(Madsted windshield) both are out of weather but easy to use.

Check out the underside of the dash on the RT in my signature photo.

See the two openers velcroed to the bottom? One opens the gate to our property and one opens the garage. They've been there for over a year and have never moved.

They have survived torrential rains, 100 degree heat and 25 degree cold and are still hanging on tight.

I hard wired mine with a simple push button from radio shack to the transmitter. Then I put the transmitter behind the cluster. No need to be facing the garage door to open or close it. As I back my spyder into my garage.

what kind of opener you have, most companies offer a key ring version which are very easy to place on the bike...that's what I use...!!:thumbup:

krzychick is right. Flash to pass is a great solution. Wire in the transmitter to your bright light switch and the receiver into the garage door opener and then all it takes is a bright-dim-bright combination and the garage door responds - open or close.

Thanks everybody for your ideas. I am going to get a key fob type remote and try Justryde's spot on the blank accessory switch first and see if I like it. If it does not suit me I will try something else.

I put a momentary button in the speaker grille and just soldered telephone line to the garage remote.67028

I AMA RTL owner so forgive my ignorance, I keep mine in the center faux gas tank so called glove box which is so small you are hard pressed to store air in it.

May try that if I don't like what i have done.

No glove box on the ST.

I did the same on my wife's GS. Works great.

I hard wired mine to a puss button switch and mounted under left speaker cover.

[diesel-dawg]

You can get a generic FOB size transmitter with 3 buttons on it and program it up 3 different garage doors...which I have done. I have it in my glove box, but it could easily be glued under handle bars or any small space; would have to weather proof it, but clear plastic would do the trick.

[billybovine]

I had stuck a key fob remote onto one of the accessory switch blanks and well I didn't like it. I finally found some switches that I liked and wired in a three button remote.
