So, anyone know where to get such a small programmable remote?? I like it (for my pocket) but haven't seen them anywhere.

I got mine at a Lowes type store. It's from Chamberlain, the maker of the garage door opener. I bought another one for the wife for when she takes her walks. Make sure it works with your opener. They are model/year specific.

Anyone with just a tad bit of knowledge can find your address via your licenser plate number. It’s not rocket science. Put it in your pocket

Went to Radio Shack and purches a small moment switch, installed the switch, soldered the wires to it, put the outer fairing back. Permanent remote opener on the bike , inconspicuous, and cost about $5 to install.

I did the same as you, but bought an odo/trip button and mounted it in the fairing same location as the trip button but on the right.

I will have a universal one out in about 2 weeks. I have dealt with garage door remotes and motorcycles for 20 years now. So I came up with a cure. Check it out!
