Installed the HD opener on my 09 Ultra. When I bought my 14 Limited, I transfered it over. Works greats.

I have 8 pictures showing it's installation.

I had the same experience with the Flash to Pass system. I went through 2 of them and finally discarded it.

Default DIY can be pretty incospicuous...

I hardwired one of the ones that came with the opener to a push button on my 14 SGS. Was going to get one of the Harley push buttons but I found one that matched the fairing pretty well. See the photo. You wouldn't notice it unless you were really looking and the button is pretty well protected from rain, etc. Total cost...$1.98

did the same but bought from Amazon for 4.98 left on keys and I leave them in the w/s pouch. Now I never forget my key and it works from 100 feet

I currently have a keychain with the garage door opener, but as I'm pulling up to my garage I struggle getting keys out of my pocket. I'm thinking of installing the HD door opener as well. Granted, that doesn't help your decision but I figured I'd chime in as to which method I'm taking.
