Garage Door Opener Mod - Page 5 - Suzuki Volusia Forums : Intruder Volusia and Boulevard Forum

So I copied Sisco's pics above and completed my first mod (if you don't count windshields). Thanks for the great ideas!

I siliconed the button and heatshrinked the connectors. I like having extra wire for that "you never expected it" situation.

Close Up, having cleaned it yet

Further out.

Not sure this will help; I put mine on the right side cover
BTW: the switch is not weatherproof or even siliconed but in nearly three years I haven't had any problems.

Sisco! Where'd you get that metal switch???

I just carry a keychain sized opener in my pocket so when I switch from one bike to the other it goes with me.

Works on all three bikes very well.

Ebay. I think.

Sisco's mettalic switch complements the bike. I've checked out every Radio Shack around here...no finds. I'm keeping my eyes open in the Los Angeles County.

I 'm getting ready to install a remote on our new bike today, so I had to dredge MY thread back up so I could remember what I did.

I used this switch in the back of the speedo housing...

Nice!

Does it handle being wet?

I did the mod a while back and it works great. Only problem is the housing development I live in has hundreds of houses with only dozens of freqs available for the garage doors. So some repeat. If I drive around my neighborhood with my high beams on I open about every couple garages I pass lol
