That's what is great about this mod... it is not wired into the bikes electrical at all. It's just a garage door opener with wires soldered to a push button and stashed inside the panel and runs off the openers batteries. Really easy and very convenient to open garage before I even pull up to the house.

Ya makes sense. I'm hesitant to drill thru the bodywork. Maybe ill try a diff switch and mounting location! Really cool idea!

Also didn't drill through the body, put in bottom screw hole and secured push button with washer / nut. No drilling or electrical work needed. Not sure what bike you have but it worked out great on the 796.

Nice! i would do this but sometimes i leave my bike in front of the garage, wouldn't want someone to just walk up to it and open the garage door.

the hole where it's mounted is actually recessed, so unless you are looking for the button you won't see it

Made a GyroCam prototype (inspiration from several others on the internet).  I did a test run this morning on my 696.

The toe piece on the brake lever came from Home Depot and Auto Zone: $5.64


Had a low side get off at about 25 mph & broke off the toe piece on my brake lever. I opted for a 2 1/4" X 3/8" stainless bolt with two self locking nuts and some rubber bypass caps for less than $6.00 in lieu of $82.00 for an OEM pedal.
Just drill the remains of the old toe piece out, then in with the new.
