My original equipment garage door openers are about 1/4" X 1 1/2" X 2". I used double backed carpet tape and stuck one to the lower right side of the inner fairing. Not really noticeable and works like a charm!!!
I'm ready to pitch my wayne dalton I-drive openers. Nothing but trouble so far. In looking at alternatives, the Liftmaster 3800 looks pretty good. Anybody using these? Any comments?
Thanks!

I bought a key chain remote one that works with my opener. I opened it up and attached wires to the button terminals ran the wires to a button. I made a small bracket and attaches it to the bike and put the button on it ( small button from Radio shack momentary on ) . I have to replace the battery every 3 years or so but works great.
Look into Flash2 Pass. I have it on my GL. Flash the headlight twice & shazam! The door goes up. There is a small transmitter wired to hr headlight circuit. The receiver replaces yr regular door opener. Easy!

Dave I also installed the Flash 2 Pass Reciever in the garage and a transmitter on the 2 trikes and one car. A little expensive, but my opener is from 1999 and finding remotes was a problem. The Flash 2 Pass works great.

Safe to assume the trike needs to be facing the garage door to work though? Unlike a remote that only needs to be in the vicinity?

Actually NO Cheri the head light switch activates the remote so i has nothing really to do with the headlight beam
That's correct the transmit distance is about 75 feet. We have to make a u -turn to enter our garage and we flick the lights as we are coming a beam and it is open as we swing around.

I kinda like my opener, I can approach the door from any angle, even backing up. As soon as I stop she jumps off the Trike & opens the door & turns on the lights and I enter. Yeah, my wife has got me spoiled, one helluva women.
