I took our spare garage door
opener, cracked open the case, and found the spot on the circuit
board that connected to the button. I soldered a wire to the
board, after clipping off the button from the other side. Then I notched
the edge of the opener case, making room for the wires to exit the
case. I wrapped the opener (with its 9v
battery inside) once with clear mailing tape and attached the whole thing
behind the headlight shroud with hook-and-loop fastener material. Then I put a small, 2-amp doorbell type
(push-button) switch
on a bracket that I made and fastened it to the handlebar clamp
bolt, as shown below. I feel as cool as a 36-year-old Batman smoothing
on down my street, bike covered in mud, and the garage door goes
up... like magic! And it costs about $5 for the heat-shrink tubing, a
button, and some wire.
