I was browsing Lamonster I believe and saw they had a garage door opener for the bike. I thought that was a good idea but they were always out of stock every time I looked. So I decided to make one myself. Found a water proof momentary switch that matches my Spyder switches. Got an extra remote for my garage door opener. I also got a dc to dc converter to convert the 12 volts to 3 volts so I did noy have to replace the battery and the remote would only work with the key on but decided against using it for now since I placed it where I can get to it easy.
So this is what I did.
1. Program the new remote to the garage door.
2. Opened the remote and soldered a wire pair across the switch that was programmed to open the door.
3. Sealed the remote case with silicone to prevent water getting in.
4. Used Velcro and mounted the remote under the switch console where it should remain dry.
5. Removed the blank from the switch panel.
6. Feed the wire to the new switch and snapped the switch in to place.
