Well I decided to incorporate a garage door opener into the left hand controls and since I always ride with the hi-beam on there is no need for me to keep the hi-beam flash switch operable. The actual board for the garage door opener is external from the switch housing and tucked under the front fairing. The 3V battery is still powering the circuit board. I started with a LiftMaster key fob that I purchased off of ebay.  Cut a small mutli-conductor phone cable I had laying around and soldered it to the board.  Then I used some heat shrink to cover and seal the board. The heat shrink I used is 7/8" high voltage type that has the adhesive on the inside.  Next I unsoldered the headlight wires and put some heat shrink on them to prevent them from shorting out. Then I soldered the wires coming from the circuit board to the switch.   There is a opening that looks like it would be used for something else that I routed the wire through.  | ||

Good job. However, it would have been easier to connect remote switch wires to the other end of the high beam switch wires. | ||

I didn't really look at the option. It just seemed easier not to have to look at wiring schematics and trace out wires. | ||

Terrys1980 I did this and it turned out bad ass. Way. Heaped than the $129 module HD wants to sell you w/ 2 hours of labor @ $100 per hour. I did this for < $30 and it looks & functions awesome. You da' man. Or woman maybe. Either way, thank you!!! The Salty Firefighter  |
