Hidden Remote
Here's my Garage Door Remote (left of ignition switch) and my Black Magic LED Remote (right of ignition switch). I had a little Heavy Duty Velcro left over from the PCV and Autotune install and decided to put it to good use.
I can remove and throw in saddlebags or take'em with me if I need to. And they won't fall off...no way...velcro is too strong.

A CB antenna is "tuned" - just cutting it is to invite problems! I'd suggest looking at the J&M "shorty" antenna's, or buying the ones made for the '09's. From the rear, the right side is the CB antenna, IIRC.

If you split the case on your garage door opener and it has micro buttons, you can wire the opener through a 4 prong 12v relay to your high beam wire. When you flip the switch to high it will open the door. You can also wire it to your brakes. I got the plans from a guy on ebay. You have to solder wires to the mirco buttons. 4 years and it still works great. The remote tucks easily under the seat. Beats the price of Harley's $300 plus opener.
Good luck

Radio Shack siren install
Just did a dual siren install the other day on my 07 Ultra. Had the wife go out and move the bike (without the FOB) and it scared the bjesus out of her...... 
Course I wasn't laughing so hard when she caught me....
One thing I noticed is that immediately after the install was complete I got a chrip when brushing up against the bike, as some of you have mentioned. Since that one time, no more chirp.... After reading a few of the other posts I thought it would chirp all the time when you approached... Guess not??

You will get a chirp after you turn off the ignition and it arms itself...you will get a chirp when you turn on the ignition and it disarms...other than that you will only get the siren if you try moving the bike.
