I was looking for a cheap easy way to use my garage door opener from the Sport Glide.
Here is what I came up with!

I bought a Chamberlain Mini at Lowe’s and zip tied it inside the back of the nacelle on my Fatboy. Hidden from view and a one finger reach to open/close. I put it on the left side so when you turn the wheel to park, it’s hidden by the tank.

I put mine in the tank pouch and put a push button through the side where a chrome stud was.
But I like your set-up
