Opening the garage door just got easier.
I spent the morning installing a remote garage door opener on my 05. I started with a skylink universal garage door opener that I ordered off eBay. You could probably get away with any opener but I like this one because its small so its easy to hide.
I disassembled the remote and with the removal of the only screw, the printed circuit board was off.
The switch your looking for is in the middle of the board ( see pic with blue arrow).
Flip the board over and you'll see the two solder points. I used solid core copper wire that I picked up at radio shack for the job. All that you want to do is solder a two pieces of wire, one from each lead from the back of the switch. ( see pic with red arrows).
After with a notch cut in the side of the remotes case, and a little red RTV to seal it up, it was ready to mount. I mounted mine in front of the overflow tank. there's about 1/4 inch clearance between the tank cap and the remote.
I picked up a push button switch (normally off) on ebay and made a bracket for it and my grip heater switch on the left side of the bars.
