Very cool
Does it plug and play or do you have to splice wires into the Spyder as advertised?

[daddydarko]

It will plug and play if you buy their optional harness.

Very nice and pretty cool. For a lot less cost this mod has worked for me through all weather and 3 long road trips with no problems whatsoever.

Stuck under handlebars. I never take it off in any weather and it always works and no one knows it is there.

Yes, but I'm offering a way to stimulate the economy. Your's doesn't help. :P

Also, some of us don't have that archaic stock steering column. :P

Very neat, Deb! :thumbup: I have been carrying my Chamberlain F1 opener in my Spyder jacket (hidden compartment ;)). After poking my chest several times, the door opens! :clap:

I may have to look into a simlar set-up as you're using.

$75 is a bit much for the original listed solution, I think. But, it is cool. :)

Thanks Wes, but I know James is messing with me. It's all good.

Some of like the word Classic when others use archaic. LOL

Bought a small door opener at home Depot and programmed it to open the door at my home. Works perfectly. I mounted mine on the shroud over the gauges. Unobtrusive and functional. Cosy about $15.00.

Our way stimulated the Heavy Duty Velcro economy and made a $10 sale at the local JoAnn's fabric shop. :D :thumbup:

:clap:Thanks Jack! I think I'll be paying Home Depot a visit tomorrow. I thought there might be something in a more generic form that could be programmed from mine.

The phone # 18776686411 is disconnected and website/email never returned questions. Are they still in business?

I have an arm ..... Not to hi-tech but so far my batteries still charged:joke:

And what steering column is available that looks better than the stock one?

The only two options I've seen (Kewlmetal & Helibars) look horrible.

Got picks of something better?

[bone crusher]

I just stick the garage door opener in my pocket when I ride...when I get to the driveway, I pull it out and click it...this is probably the cheapest way to go, but it works quite well...

I just bought a universal remote at Sears for $40 and attached it above the instrument panel using velcro strips but I LOVE the Brit's approach

[quackerz]

Nothing fancy for me, I keep my remote in the clear plastic top in my tank bag.

I absolutely love that Yo:2thumbs::agree:uTube video. I was in hysterics. I'm gonna get me one of these babies.

I have a small fob attached to my Spyder keys that I always wear in my right pocket when riding the Spyder. I just push the correct spot on my leg and the door always opens.

I like the idea of hiding a fob under the steering column. May try that.

Lamonster as always you chime in and I :roflblack:

That's it Lamont! That's my problem! My Opener is defective! I knew it was supposed to work just like in the video but it never has since the day I got it.

I was never quite sure but now I know where the problem lies. Not sure how to get it repaired though. Have you got a "How To" video for that?
