Getting my bike ready and I have a new opener that uses the MyQ Security 2.0 and Im looking for a better solution than having a remote in my jacket pocket or a Mo-door switch stuck on the bike.
Id love to have a switch in the fairing but HD doesnt make one that will work for some reason. Also neither will the Geezer Glide.
I was thinking of mounting this in the left side of the fairing If I make a hole for it. Not sure how much space or what issues may arise from using this location.
I just velcro'd a keychain remote inside the right cubby. It's on the upper left side of the box and isn't in the way of my Freewire. works fine, low tech, no drilling or wiring necessary.
I have a "Shortcut" setup on my iPhone to open a garage. When I come up to my street, I can either use the garage app on my phone to open a garage or say Siri open garage to my Cardo.
I have used the Harley garage door opener for years and have it on all of my motorcycles. A simple toggle of the hi/lo beam and the door opens. The transmitter has amazing range. Install is very easy.
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.

This was my first thought as well, 3"s of depth is allot of real-estate.
Personally, I wouldn't be drilling or cutting into my fairing to mount a garage door opener that's just too "permanent" for me. I bought an aftermarket universal garage door opener that's small and fits on my key ring or easily sits inside the right side flip up fairing compartment. Usually I can press it from a few houses away so the door is wide open by the time I pull up. But if not, it's no big deal to stop momentarily and press the button. It's easy and there''s no need for a more complicated solution.

I would def do somehting like this but I dont trust it not coming off/getting stolen when its parked because people are ********

I tried to get this to work for awhile on my old bike before getting a Mo-Door. The problem is the phone needs to be unlocked to make it work even when using siri.

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...
