  • In this video I am creating a unique solution for my Indian Scout Bobber where I convert the horn button into a garage door opener. This is one of my messiest DIYs so far, but hopefully it offers some value and you can use it to develop a similar solution on any motorcycle! You will clearly see that I am no pro when it comes to electronics and soldering, which only proves that anyone can do this!

    You're a wizard, this is really nice. I personally wouldn't get rid of my honk though, so I think I'll try an alternative with a whole new button system. Thanks !

      You should be able to wire it the same way I did but leave the horn connected. Might get annoying for your neighbors when you honk the horn every time you come home though lol.

    Nice work! I thought about doing this but haven't yet because I have the app on my phone to open the garage doors at the moment. This is a cool DIY though for sure bro.

      Thanks dude! It's super satisfying to pull up and just use an oem button to open the door.

    How many Amps is the step down voltage regulator?

    Very good. Congratulations. But you lost the horn, right ? So, is there a method to keep both functionalities working ?

      @Jimbobbington  10 місяців тому

      You could definitely keep the horn too, but you'd honk when you open the garage.

    Why not just hot glue the button in the pushed down position?

      Easy enough to do, I just wanted to use oem wiring and have an oem look. For me, the horn is useless. Can't even hear it over my exhaust lol
