Garage Door Opener Mod Possible on 2010+ FXDWG?
I'm looking to do the garage door opener mod on my bike while I have it all Torn apart. I like the one where you mount the opener inside the dash, splice it into the headlights and mount an odometer reset button to the side of the dash panel to open the garage. Nice and clean yet easy to operate. Not a fan of the high beam flashing or horn honking variations...
The only problem is, I'm not sure there's enough room inside my dash panel... Below the Speedo, is indicator light housing and then right below that is the ignition switch. And once you get down that low, the door opener is too thick for the dash to fit on the tank. Below are some pics of my dash. Anyone that has done this mod to a 2010 and up Wide Glide, please share any tips...

Yeah, the pocket is always a little sketchy because I have one of those goofy *** suburbia driveways where it's the same amount of bump as the "curb" everywhere else. And the openers don't usually work until i'm just about to the driveway. One-handed, diagonal, door opening driveway entrances are something I was hoping to do away with this coming riding season...

Yeah, I'd do like Joe said, and just mount the button in the dash. I've been considering doing that very thing - stashing the box under my seat or something like that, then just splicing in a weatherproof button or switch somewhere else on the bike that I can get to when I pull into the driveway. Seems like any old replacement clicker will work fine once it's programmed to your opener, it's just a matter of wiring in the new switch to replace the original button.

Read my thread, you can either use hi beam trigger or switch your choice. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showt...7027&styleid=7

I have an older version of this http://www.mo-door.com/Factory-HD-Switch.html (different switch.)
I bought it and used it on my streetable-SuperMoto and transferred it to the SB last year. Still running on the same battery after three years. This new version has a nice switch that would fit well on the dash.

Damn, I didn't even realize it would clear underneath there. That looks to be almost directly underneath the ignition switch. Nice! That's where mine shall be too then... And thanks for the reminder in the 12v
