I know if doesn't answer the OP's question regarding the HD opener.
I used velcro/tape to attach a garage opener to the back of my fairing. It held this way for many miles/years on my previous bike... and surprisingly was tucked away from the rain and not damaged when caught in rainstorms. I do pull it off to wash the bike or if I have to park outside in the rain... it's also not hidden this way.
I've considered soldering a switch to the opener and mounting it inside the fairing with a push-button on the dash/fairing, but I've had good success with my simple "low-fuss" solution.

I have a Chamberlain door opener that I installed before 2000. I had a 2005 ultra that I put in a remote kit that worked off the high beam. In 2015, I bought the liftmaster garage door opener that works with my phone (MyQ something)
I worked like a charm. I bought a new ultra in 2016 and installed the a new remote on the bike. In the beginning of 2018, it stopped working from the bike. It worked fine from my phone and door button. I found the instructions for the bike remote and re programed it. (I thing there was a reset button on the receiver.) It started working again. I haven't had a problem again, yet. FYI, the newer Chamberlain door openers have the MyQ built in and comes with the fancy door button. No need to have a thing plugged into the router.
I have the receiver mounted at the highest part of the garage. When I was programing it, I kept it next to the bike , then moved it

I did the same.....remote in Heritage windshield bag....but then went and got a key chain remote from Home Depot thats about the size of a silver dollar (if the silver dollar were square). I put in on a carabiner with my MC keys and wear on a belt loop. Opener is always handy. Its all personal preference.....just an option I do.

This link shows it, it's smaller than it looks here. Oh, and look around, you can beat that price. Common lithium dime battery lasts years.

Had the same issue when I installed a new Chamberlain opener a couple of months ago, purchased the interface below. Works great with the bike's headlight switch.
