i took the easy way out. i used velcro and installed the under the inner fairing near the speaker on my ultra limited. it cant be seen and easy to reach it and open the door.
There are about a dozen variations of this mod in the DIY thread. I mounted that same Radio Shack switch in my inner fairing to the right of my tach. Others have used the CVO power lock switch. You could also use a odometer reset button with the rubber boot on it.
There is also a company now selling a universal remote already wired up with a push button - just use the 'learn' function on your door and mount the remote & switch anywhere on your bike that you can drill a 1/4" hole.

Could you give us a hint on the "already wired up" company?
Keep in mind it only works if you have a 12v door system (like Genie's). Unfortunately mine is a 9v so battery power is a non option.
I didn't see a 9v at Radio Shack but they do have a 5.1 v and a 3.9 volt zener diodes. You could put them in series with a resistor and get 9v. Just remember that zener diodes are connected opposite of normal diodes ( cathode (marked end) connects to the positive lead). The diodes listed were about $1 each.
