I friend of mine here in Colorado has a new business venture, he's been making these for a while, but decided last year to make it into production. It's a stand alone garage door opener for your bike. There's no splicing required, or drilling of your fairings if you don't want to.
The company is called Mo-Door. Check it out. I just installed mine on the bike (have the the mini waterproof switch) and I love it. I don't have to fumble in my pocket to search for my opener, just press the button on the triple and up she goes.
UPDATE
So I've teamed up with Mo-Door for the 2013 race season and they are going to be one of my sponsors. One way that you can help me out is by ordering through my link! Get an awesome product and help out a fellow R1 owner at the same time!
Since I've converted the R1 to a race bike, this is no longer installed on my bike. Instead I've put it in my car. I park outside, so it's nice to know that if someone ever broke into my car, that they wouldn't know I have an opener in the car, so my garage (and house) is safe. So this isn't just for your motorcycle, you can use it in your car as well!
It is easy to take on and off, although the button is held on w/ 3M tape, so taking it on and off would not be ideal. So if you're afraid of it being taken, then hiding it under the seat will be the best option for you.
How much is he selling them for? can you post a pic of it with something else to give us a size approximation?
does it work with all garage doors or just certain brands? do you program it to the garage just like you would a new remote?
1.There's price points under the Ordering tab. They range from $80-100.
2. See the picture above for size, it's a little smaller than the old tiny Nokia phones.
3. It works with most garage door manufacturers (Linear/Moore-O-Matic, Chamberlain, Wayne Dalton, Stanley, Genie, True Value, Sears Craftsman, Master Mechanics, Do It, Raynor and Liftmaster. ). <--- taken from the site.
4. Yes, you program it exactly like a regular remote. It took me a whole 2 minutes, including searching for the step ladder to get to the program button on the garage door. :lol

sounds like a good idea....sorry i didnt see the link at first. price would need to come down some though to be competitive. does the same thing as Flash2Pass except you push a button instead of honk the horn.
But there's no wiring involved, is the thing. Most people (like me) don't want to splice into anything. I'm good with car stereos, but when it comes to other electronics, I'll pass. :lol
Selecting a door opener remote please keep in mind the garage door brand you are using it for. Remotes use what is called binary and trinary settings, + 0 - so be careful that you select the right keychain remote for your needs.
He lists all the openers they are compatible with. He's actually sponsoring me now for next years' race season, so I'll have some stuff for sale as well.
Since I've changed my R1 to strictly race, I have put the Mo-Door in my car. It's well hidden, so it's nice if someone ever breaks into my car since I park outside.
Updated the first post with some new info and a link to order through me. If you leave my link, make sure to either go back to my link, or the link at the bottom right of the ordering page (John Chadwick).
Bumping it! Weather is getting warmer and you know you don't want to fumble in your pocket to find that damn remote! Plus, you'll be helping out a fellow R1 Forum Member in my race effort this year on the R1. :thumbup
I've had mine for over 2 years and haven't had to change the battery yet. I just race the R1, so I put it in my car. I picked up another car and bought a second to go in that one too. :lol
I'm definitely getting one once I'm settled in my new place and find out what brand garage opener is on the house.
Now to figure out which switch will work best if I decide to drill a hole beside the high beam switch and put it in there.
Can you find out if the wires to the switch are polarized? My guess is that the switch is a "normally opened push button switch" and all you do is complete the circuit when pressing it. So I'm guessing the wires are not polarized.
He usually keeps them in stock and will ship out same or next day that you order it. I could ask? I think his email is in the contact area, you could shoot him an email. His name is E.J., just let him know Chadwick sent you over there.
Between moving in my new house, having to buy a tire and all of the tools needed to ease replacing it, and a pregnant wife. I've been too busy to jump right on to this project.
But I found out a few details tonight.
There is a lot of room inside here....
Enough room for the gorgeous switch....
There's even an extra empty tunnel for the Mo-Door wires....
I wanted to position the button directly in between the "high" "low" beam logos but I would be risking not being able to screw down the nut on the button due to plastic being in the way.
