Sup guys! Did a couple of mods on the bike this weekend and I thought i'd share. Here goes:

License plate LED light bar

Spent like 15 bucks on parts. The light bar is tucked under the fender and I used some jumbo narrow-beam LEDs so I could aim the light all the way from where the LEDs are hidden. Brightens up the license plate extremely well at night, almost too well......

Garage Door opener button on handle bar

This one was pretty straight forward. Ran the wire inside the wiring harness for a stealth install and soldered it to a keychain garage door opener. Drilled a hole for the switch and connected it to the wires coming from the remote. Works flawlessly like 50 feet away from the door and it looks stock!

My neighbor saw me quickly roll into my garage and close the door behind me so he came over to tell me that looked like I rode straight into the BatCave. LOL 8)

I LOVE you garage door switch idea. That spot is perfect!

Nice!!! Any reason in particular you wired the LEDs in parallel? You could have used half the resistors if you went in series. But of course, all that would save you was about 30 cents LOL

I've been meaning to do the garage door remote. Glad yours came out well!

i had them in series in the beginning until one of them burned out for some reason. This way I'll always have the rest working if one of them decide to burn out!

That garage door opener button is awesome, what a perfect spot.

I love the garage door opener! Wish I was that handy.

I love the garage door idea too! How can you tell what wires to solder where? I have a mini garage remote with three buttons, but I only use the one for the bike. Normally I keep this in my jacket and hit it just as I'm pulling into the driveway. That gives me just enought time to put it in my pocket and then grab the clutch. But I like your idea much better! Hope you don't mind to copy the idea.

Thanks for sharing. My Stryker is in bad need of repair since my son layed it down going 40mph last Friday so I'm going to install a garage door opener button while I've got it apart.... That is unless the insurance company ends up keeping my bike :'(
