How to turn your motorcycle horn into a garage door opener

[@pheno84]

New piece of garage decor incoming! Keep up the good work!

[@Jimbobbington]

Ooh! Can't wait!

Nice solution Jim, I apply the same thing on my bobber to open the garage door. Thanks for the guide ce!! 😁

[@Jimbobbington]

Thank you!

[@JodyPinn]

Been thinking bout this. Thanks for being the guinea pig! Keep it up

[@Jimbobbington]

Thanks!

You're a wizard, this is really nice. I personally wouldn't get rid of my honk though, so I think I'll try an alternative with a whole new button system. Thanks !

[@Jimbobbington]

You should be able to wire it the same way I did but leave the horn connected. Might get annoying for your neighbors when you honk the horn every time you come home though lol.

[@robbynprange595]

Well done. People can do a lot with your video.

[@Jimbobbington]

Thank you!

Nice work! I thought about doing this but haven't yet because I have the app on my phone to open the garage doors at the moment. This is a cool DIY though for sure bro.

[@Jimbobbington]

Thanks dude! It's super satisfying to pull up and just use an oem button to open the door.

[@MessyGarageBMW]

@@Jimbobbington maybe ill try something like this on the Springfield's button for heated grips i don't want to add.

[@elfamosin]

Thanks for the info and guidance, nice bike dude!!!!👍🤙🤙👍

[@Jimbobbington]

Thanks brother!

[@ruireis5493]

Very good. Congratulations. But you lost the horn, right ? So, is there a method to keep both functionalities working ?

[@Jimbobbington]

You could definitely keep the horn too, but you'd honk when you open the garage.

How many Amps is the step down voltage regulator?

[@Jimbobbington]

500mA

[@allthekidsareright]

Why not just hot glue the button in the pushed down position?

[@Jimbobbington]

😆

[@barygol]

Why not adding a new button?

[@Jimbobbington]

Easy enough to do, I just wanted to use oem wiring and have an oem look. For me, the horn is useless. Can't even hear it over my exhaust lol

[@barygol]

@@Jimbobbington fair enough. But you could have bought a 12v remote avoiding the regulator.

I’d need to build a garage first

[@Jimbobbington]

Haha damn

@@Jimbobbington actually my girl and I manage a KOA campground in Ohio so I have my pick of 3 barns and a 135 year old recreation building. Going with the rec barn figure its got less critters than the other options

@@mrmurphy8609 haha that's a fun life!

[@stuartberke5845]

Too much work for me. I found another way.

[@ruireis5493]

What’s the other way ?

@@ruireis5493 I bought a garage door opener from Rogers Unlimited. Great product. KZbin has a video. It's amazing. Love it.
