Installing A Garage Door Opener On Tiger 660 Sport

[frankienap]

Hello community. This is my first thread.
I'm a proud owner of a 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660. On my previous bike I installed a garage door opener with a small circuit and wired it to my high beam switch light. When I pull up to my house I flash my brights and the garage opens. I got the circuit information online here Installing a Garage Door Opener Wired to Motorcycle Hi-Beam and here How-To: Garage Door Opener Using High Beam Switch - CBR Forum - Enthusiast forums for Honda CBR Owners.

On my CBR500 there was a really great tutorial where I found out how to tap into the high beam wire and ground. I can't find anything similar for the Tiger 660.

Does anyone who's tried this or is good at reading a wiring diagram have a recommendation for where and how to tap into those two wires?

That is a pretty cool idea! If I only had a garage...

Getting to the rear of the main beam light “bulbs” shouldn’t be much of a problem and with an inexpensive multi meter you should easily be able to identify the positive and negative cables that you need to tap into.

I did something similar but with less wiring. Here's the video for my inspiration:

I found a small container to hold the guts of the opener and velcroed it to the inside of one of the side panels on my Street Twin. Here's the momentum switch I purchased:

At first I thought I would find a switch I could mount on the handlebars, but I didn't want to hassle with lots of wires. Intead, I drilled a hole in the side panel that was a little out of the way, but still easy enough to reach. It's worked like a charm for 5 years now.

Using the main beam supply is ok but when you are out and about with main beam on for more than just a few seconds I wonder if the door remote is up to receiving the 12 volt supply for extended periods. Maybe use the horn supply instead?
