No worries dear. It was just bad timing, that's all.
Yes, I do and thank you.
Yes, it too is gone. Motrin, Tylenol and a double shot of coffee with Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate. There's nothing that can't make better.

I mean 'twice the coffee, half the water, and a heaping table spoon of this.
Add to that a little sugar and some real 1/2 & 1/2."

Here's my '95, the '97 is basically the same without the Fuel+, or heated grips, and windscreen switch in on the handlebar instead of the dash pad.

It's a keychain remote. It used a 12V battery but I ditched the battery and wired it up to the bike's power.
On the garage door opener's small PCB board I just soldered a wire across the contacts for the push button. When I hit the switch it grounds the garage door opener negative battery terminal and viola, the garage door opens.
The switch symbol is for a horn. The bottom function of the switch is for my hidden radar detector which has a piezo siren attached to it so I used the horn symbol. (And I'd already used up all of the other symbols BMW has.)
The opener is mounted on the back side of the panel behind the dome light.

Hey Duck, that's exactly what I wanted to know, so there must be some gap between the front fairing and the dome panel, did you do anything to the remote to protect it from rain or when you wash the bike, as mine clearly states "This item is NOT waterproof"
Cheers and thanks.

I'm not sure it's 100% necessary but when I put the remote back together I sealed everything up with silicone adhesive. Can't hurt, right?
And I don't wash my bikes. I just go over them thoroughly with cleaner wax. Less elbow grease that way.

Howdy, new member here. I wanted to share this from my new (to me) K. I just got the Garmin 100% installed yesterday after much trial and error of different mount pieces. Can't wait to put some serious commuting miles on it starting tomorrow.

Lou - Yes, a pic would be great.
They sell orange inserts in the US. I didn't know there were blue too until I got one from some dude in France.

Hey FD, I was trolling for ideas on how to mount a GPS to my RS and found this thread.
So my question is, with the garage door opener and radar detector switch, does that mean you can't have the radar detector on at the same time as you are going in the garage? What if the cops were hiding in there with a radar???
BTW it is illegal to use a radar detector anywhere in OZ except WA I think. Bit of a bugger actually.....not that I would ever speed of course....officer.

It's always beer-thirty somewhere on the planet.
A lot of agencies now run "instant on" radar so the primary use of my radar detector is now as an expensive voltmeter since I have that set up as the default display.
