And...much cheaper than HD's touring garage door opener option. Great job & now off to get those parts myself. Been digging the opener out of w/s pouch too much...

I still keep mine in the window bag, but your install is very clean and looks factory. If I ever need the space I will look at an install like yours for sure.

I did a similar mod except that my Genie GD opener was powered by a 12v battery so I just wired it up to an unused accessory wire on my FLHP:

I have seen this done on the forum here.
They used a saddlebag unlock switch(?).
It was a very clean install.
I will try to find it for you.

Thanks!
It's not that bad, I'm just slow...
Bring it all over here. Together I'm sure we can figure something out.

Found the info.
It is in the DIY thread, Post #366.
He (jagerbomb) made three entries.
He did a great job with this installation.

I ordered 1 for myself and another for a buddy. I started by taking out the ignition switch, using a 7/8" wrench to take off the the ignition support, and then removing the position plate. Took off the 2 side screws and the filler came right off. I took it to the workshop and removed the screws for the block off plates. I then took my new switch and cut the plug off. With a DVOM I determined the red and blue wires had continuity when the lock button was pressed. I tinned the wires and then took the cover off my garage door opener. With the DVOM I again determined which points on the circuit board had continuity when the door opener button was pushed. I then soldered the wires to those points. I then cut 2 grooves for the wires. The switch was installed in the bracket and screwed back in the filler. I then used velcro to attach the door opener to the filler panel checking that there was no interferance with the forks. I then put it all back together. Took me 20 minutes and it looks factory and woorks great.

Very nice, congrats, looks good

I have the HD Part# 71764-07 Switch wired into my Garage Remote, I did the install a few weeks ago. I have it Velcro'd under the switch panel, and it's working great too. Since I only have one garage door to open, I took the 2 outside wires and wired them together, so the Garage Door will work, if you push the lock or unlock button on the switch. I also installed the HD Independent Control Auxiliary Lamp Wiring Harness HD Part# 69200441 at the same time.

I didn't have to pull the Fairing, just the Ignition Lock and switch panel. They both took around a 1/2 hour to install.

Just did the LED Truck Lite 7 install too

Here are a few pics !!
