Sorry, don't have pics, but I put the door opener under my seat on my Deuce and wired in a very small momentary switch by the left side of my seat. Push little switch and door opens. Can't see the switch unless you search for it...

Be careful not to push your button too many times as it wears out the battery. It's ok to get your button moist or wet so try to keep 'er clean and dry.
Sometimes I have an accidental discharge and I open doors I shouldn't be opening. This can get you into trouble.
I would show you pics of my button. Don't have any now. Have to get my Poloroid.
Or you could get another odometer buton drill a hole in your console on the other side, use 2 #22 gage wires and solder them to your opener where the OEM button makes the connection. Put some velcro on the opener and the inside of your console and its all hidden and done for the cost of a new odometer button.

The battery in my remote lasts for at least 2 years, still going strong, if you plan to use a momentary switch, make sure you get the water prove rubber boot. I have no problem washing my bike. I used to put the garage door opener in my pocket, 9 out of 10 I cannot find the button right away. If using a switch, I can open the garage door while I am moving, it is worth it.
