Storage option idea
have an Electra glide ultra with a windsplitter windshield. All pasta bikes I had the 3 pouch windshield bag which was perfect. Now with the 2015 and the air vent plus the windsplitter windscreen the 3 pouch is not an option. Look for any input on what would be good to store wallet, phone, keys and/or garage opener and still have easy access while riding or sitting on bike. Anything out there that will do this besides having to get rid of windsplitter and go with 3 pouch and having to block the air vent?

Magnetic tank bag? Nothing else comes to mind right now except hard lowers with storage boxes. Wouldn't use a tank bag myself but I keep things you are asking about in pockets and never give it a second thought. They newer fairings are still pretty novel so there may be something to come along???

pretty much all that stuff is in my jacket pockets.
i wear a 3 in 1 jacket which works in hot or mild weather.
for the garage door opener there are 287 posts on mounting the GDO in the sticky above:

I prefer using a relay on the high beam ( or horn, or turn signal...just about any switched circuit) to trigger the GDO...hands stay on controls- no extra buttons.

The new fairing pouches are designed for clearance for the vent. My bike came with one, but i removed it as soon as i got it so i can't tell you how it affects the air.. for what its worth, i don't notice any different from the vent anyway. new part number is 93300054A
