Black is ground, Orange White is power, Yellow is low beam and White is high beam.
Wired like this it will not work on my '14 SGS but it did on my '13 Switchback.
When I get home this evening I'll look at the updated instructions for 2014 models that the dealer printed out. It mentioned what to do with the yellow wire but my transmitter didn't have a yellow wire so I ignored it. I'll let you know.

You guys are making this too complicated.
Get a 12vdc opener and wire tap it into the high beam wire at the headlight.
To open the door, just hit the high beam switch on and off.
And then whenever your high beams are on while driving at night, your garage door opener is transmitting and I'm not sure what that will do to the life of that thing. Also, if you have any electrical problems and the dealer sees that they will try to void your warranty. They are bastards like that.

When the high beams are on it pulses the opener one time, doesn't keep it on all the time.
Sounds like you need to change dealers.

To each there own. For me a different dealer is 3 hours away. Your opener might be different but the stock I received from Overhead Door transmitted the entire time you press the button.

Wow.. After reading through this thread, I'm happy that I opted for the "Flash to Pass" one, was very simple to install & can be removed just as quick in case any warranty work is needed or I sell the bike... Good luck with the install..
Being new, I don't understand why tie it to the high beam instead of a momentary auxiliary switch?
Especially since there are so many more aux switch locations on '14's. I think the answer lies in the fact that many don't have any understanding of switches, wiring, and...well...electrical stuff. They want something plug and play. You can't even say the "high beam" kit is neccesary for riders w/o fairings, as several guys on this forum installed a Harley odometer button onto the side of their dash on tank. Here is a very well done instructional thread w/pics on how a guy used the water proof Harley odometer reset button/switch to hide a button in his inner fairing:
Post #82 shows a pic of it being done on a tank dash. Several posts in the thread show it being installed in other places on inner fairing, using an unused auxiliary spot on a batwing dash, using a side cover, the side of a bag lid, and using an existing hole in frame right under the seat that is easy to get to.
