Garage door opener
Any ideas out there about where to put or attach a Garage Door opener? I was thinking about Velro or some kind of Neoprene pouch. What have you guys tried that is fairly simple?

I used velcro to attach one to the tank of a bike. Unfortunately, most garage door openers are not waterproof, and this one did not take kindly to the occasional rain it was subjected to - it just refused to work anymore.

Jacket pocket
We just put one in our jacket pocket when we go out.

I hang mine on the cables under the right bar. It seems to stay pretty dry in what little rain I have been in.

Garage Door Opener Solution
Hey Star Cruiser,
What I did was take my garage door opener, soldered two wires from the door opener to an interrupt switch. Took out the instruments cluster and drilled a small hole to insert the switch. Secured the door open behind the instrument cluster. It works great and looks very clean. If this interests you, I'll snap a couple of photos of my setup.
Regards,
Stanley

I velcroed mine on top of the console right behind the windshield. It's been there for 18 months with no problems
-
I velcroed mine to them flat surface on the underside of the handlebar on the left side. Out of sight and out of the weather.

Somebody will likely come up with an iPhone or Droid app. Surprised that nobody has done it yet.

Did the same as StanTheMan posted. Just takes a small amount of time and looks real neat. Just use a normally open/ momentary close switch on dash pnl.

Clip it on
If you have the belt/visor clip on your remote, just clip it to the edge of the dash, right over where the warning card slides out. The button will be accessible even wit heavy gloves and the remote is protected from the elements by the windshield.

I installed the Autoswitch http://autoswitch.com/ #AS5PG2. about $30. Hid the remote by the fuse box in the frunk. Now all I have to do is flick my high beams to open or close my garage.

I did the same but on the right side, virtually invisible but easy to use. I also used the 3M wide Velcro.

Have a 2010 RT SE5 and I just put the GDO in the small glove box below the handle bars. Just open the glove box and press the button. Keeps it out of the weather and out of sight when bike is parked.

Yea, I started there but moved it to left side so I could use it while I still had my hand on the throttle. That way I can open the door from a half a block away.

I did the same. Works for me.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.
