I used velcro to attach a keychain opener to the left side of my front brake fluid resevoir. Easy to use and easy to steal but no problems for over two years. If it goes missing I will reprogram the system.
With a little electronic background you can take your original opener, connect a seperate pushbutton to it, then hide the original opener inside your faring or between your tanks and run hidden wires to the mounted pushbutton. This works especially nice if you get the H-D button add-on kit for lighting and just use the button for the opener. The only pain is wherever you hide the original make sure access is somewhat easy to change the battery when necessary.
My brother bought me a flash to pass for Christmas. Took about 10 minutet to install. Works on cars and motorcycles. Just flash your high beems and the door goes up. Works real well. You just replace the opener button in garage with new one provided and attach sending unit to high beam wires on headlight with wire piercing screws and you are done. Nice and easy no more fumbling for the garage door opener when you are on the bike just a quick flash of the lights.
It works on the same frequency of the garage door opener each unit once hooked up is synchronezed to the main section of the garage door opener.
