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?

I finally hooked things up and they are working.
To answer my initial question, it's the middle relay behind the right fairing that has the wires for the main (high) beam. Below I describe the full process for anyone who's interested in this project.
To remove the fairings I followed the instructions from this video (very helpful)

The circuit I used to trigger the garage remote opener is this one (I've used on several bikes) https://www.instructables.com/Installing-a-Garage-Door-Opener-Wired-to-Motorcycl/. The circuit is designed to momentarily turn on the garage door opener for 2-3 seconds, so that if you are riding with your high beams on it doesn't drain the remote battery.
The wires I tapped into to operate the garage were the yellow (switch) wire and the black ground. The yellow is the important one, as you can ground the other end of the circuit to any ground on the bike, such as the negative of the battery or a screw into the metal frame. I ran the wires from the relay to my seat, where I store the wires, components and remote in a small plastic project box. I used cable ties at regular intervals so the wires stay put and I don't accidently pull them out.
Although this project took much longer than expected, I'm very happy with the results. I guess this just means I have to never sell my bike.
