I installed a garage door remote and tried to make the install a bit stealthy while still allowing for easy access while on the bike. 2017 R1200RS Lupin Blue/Grey Metallic |

Nice solution.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #6 The switch is waterproof. The transmitter can be made waterproof by covering a small (1mm diameter) hole used for programming. I didn’t cover that hole because I think where I’ve placed the transmitter is a low risk location (assuming I don’t run into a lake or river).

I was able to get a 2 button, "button" transmitter that is designed to be a weather proof key chain fob, and it has been water and weather proof for 3 years. I removed the BMW Roundel from the steering head, drilled a 6 mm hold in the bottom, and ran a countersunk bolt through it into a large washer below the Roundel's housing. It would look better if it said BMW in appropriate colours, but it works on both my garage doors.
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

It is only a matter of time before BMW offers a keyless start fob that is implanted into some part of your body.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #9 I'm thinking the area close to where the wallet is carried, since BMW is very fond of easy access to that accessory.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #9 I hope not, because I do not want anymore blemishes on my hide.... On second thoughts, I can see a way of implanting it without an incision. I think I would prefer the incision...

Has anyone used one of these? (Sound on.) |

Zitat von Ray Bridgman im Beitrag #13 Saw this on the old forum, and had it installed on my bike, right off. Unfortunately, a little erratic in function and somehow affects food quality at dinner.

Zitat von Ray Bridgman im Beitrag #13 Haha! I love how that video keeps popping up everywhere. That's my mate Pat from the old F800Riders.org forum, who lives just up the road from me, and I did loads of work on my old F800S in that very garage. Pat still rides his ancient F800, and it has about 130,000 miles on it now.
