I bet it'll last just fine though.
It very well may last forever, or the first time you back it out of the garage with a little rain it may short and open the garage door when you are down the block, leaving the house wide open for the little pervey neighborhood boy to steal all of your wifes underdraws ;)

I resent that you refer to me as Little boy... Been doin' just that for nigh on 40 years. :blum:

:jester:

I thought you were goin' ta bed, ya perv!!!

 
The reason I made mine powered by the bike was because there were occasions where I left my bike parked in front of the house, under the eave, and I didn't want the garage door opener to be able to open the garage door when the bike was off and parked.
Could also break one of the wires to the switch with relay contacts. The coil of which is energized by a circuit on the bike that is switched power. Or if you're like me and ATGATT, just put the opener in your jacket pocket. Sometimes the best solutions are the easy ones.

Here is what I did... Just my .02 worth! Nobody will ever know what that little button is for. I have actually labeled it "NOS" with a little arrow pointing to it since the picture was taken. most guys say "Sick dude, you have NOS on your FJR?" Makes for good conversation.

Took less than one hour and less than $5.

kilroy's install is very nice. I shoulda done it that way. Maybe I'll change it up... I'll just use that other button to run the smoke screen or oil slick I've been wanting to get around to installing.... :hyper:
