Just Saying
One of the smartest things I ever did was installing a garage door opener behind my fairing. I turn on my street and hit the button with my left hand and by the time I get in the driveway the garage door is open. I did this a couple of years ago with help from the DIY thread.

Made one with a HD odometer reset switch and the rubber boot, wired it to my existing g-door opener, 15 bucks. Put the door opener button on the other side of the inner fairing to offset the look of the odometer reset button.

I put a small pushbutton switch on my RKC on the left hand controls where the radio blank was. Ran the wires down to the headlight nacelle where I have the garage door opener zip tied. Great idea, I love it. The mini chrome switch was like $10 and the garage door opener was $17, $27 total.
I used to try reaching in my pants for my mini - garage garage door opener. The only thing good about that, was that I sometimes asked my girlfriend to find it for me. Sometimes she even found it.

I didn't really buy it but I bought a ladies leather belt at Wal Mart, split it in two and studded the edge of each half. I looesened the console screws and and raised it and slid the halfs under each side and then tightened down the screws on the console.

Maybe I just like things simple but I place my garage door opener in one of those handy dandy little pouches up there on my windshield that are both conveniently located and right sized just for the remote.
