HD and Geezer Glide state their openers done work with MyQ Security 2.0. If it wasnt for the cost Id buy them just to see if I can get them to work.

I have a garage door opener that has the MyQ Security stuff, and app... I still use all my previous openers. It was like any other new opener, fun to figure out how to program the existing remotes... I have a "Home Link" kinda like you linked (but not that brand, just Home Link) that I added years ago in my truck, and a Mo-door on the bike. They all work with it. I don't use the MyQ app though, because I brought the garage door opener into my home security app, so everything is all in one app instead of three. But even still, I stayed with a push button on the bike... rather than digging my phone out to push a button on it.
The nice thing about the HomeLink kit, is no batteries to replace, if it will fit behind in the space in the fairing.

I have a gate operated by a keypad or a remote... my cars each have a remote clipped to the visor..
Since I have three bikes, I keep one small, keychain-sized remote with the bike keys... I grab a key and then throw the small remote in a pocket..
If I had only one bike, doubt I would attach the remote to the bike... it's too easy to just put it in a pocket...
Granted, depending on weather and riding gear, sometimes I'll have to stop at the gate and take 20 seconds to remove a thick glove, or search through thick clothes for the button to push on the remote, but it's not really an inconvenience...
Originally I got into this because Id come home at 3a and didn't want to be "that guy" so Id try to open the door, cut the engine and coast into my garage however my current driveway has a pretty good slope to it so I cant just coast in and If I stop and then open it Ill make even more noise.
The Harley remote system has a separate transmitter and receiver. The receiver has a two wire output that wires directly to the garage door opener where the wired button goes to. It is independent of the remote system used by the garage door opener so I'm not sure why.it would not work.
I have have a Sena Freewire and a Garage Door opener in there since 2014.....no problems.

I've got a tank bib with a pouch. I took the push button opener, soldered a wire to the contact
and put a button with a weatherproof cap through the side of the pouch on the left clutch side.
Works great.

use this device with the HD opener and MyQ. I had to add it to mine when my previous opener motor failed.

Perfect! Not sure if I will go with this exact one or get the universal and get a Geezer Glide switch but I have been scowering garage door threads for years then found the geezer glide and thought my problem was solved until I bought a new home and was SOL again. Thanks for the info!
