I put my garage door opener in the same place!  I wired it to my high-beam flash switch.  All I have to do is flash my high beams and don't have to fumble with my keypad any more.

Great idea on the flash switch!

Yes I think its the shorty seamless megaphone pictured here:
- only difference I can see is that my reducers were not chrome, but sort of a goldish metal.

The nfield megaphone I have has no serial #.

Jester, When you wired it to the flashers, did you use a relay? I've done this in the past, but I didnt do it this time because I realized when my high beams were on, the garage remote was being pressed down continuously. I think the remote times out eventually, but it didt obviously shorten battery life.

Actually looks kinda nice on that Deluxe.  Of course, that's the correct period British style.  I think these are more 50's Harley/Indian style.  If you're being picky.

Excellent post so far.

For those of you that own Black C5's.  If you would be kind enough to stop posting mods and pictures of your bikes, I would appreciate it.  You can resume in 1-2 weeks when I get mine.

You guys are killing me  ;)

I was planning a very extensive mod.  Using the high beam flasher switch while still keeping it functional for high beams, running the lines up to the handlebars, building a voltage regulator cicuit to drop the bikes 12V down to what the remote needs.  Yeah...

Time to get a switch under the seat, connect it to the battery powered remote, and call it good.

Thanks for the description of your pilot light mod. My bulbs just left me, now I can replace them by something better  ;)
