I have the HD kit that works by cycling the hi/lo beams.&nbsp\\; About $120 list.&nbsp\\; Kind of pricey for a gd opener but brings a smile to my face everytime I use it.&nbsp\\; Very Slick.
&nbsp\\;
According to above, someone makes something just like it for about $40.&nbsp\\; Let's see, HD $120, someone else $40.&nbsp\\; Yeah, that sounds about right.

I've got a small Key Fob one from Sears that has a large opener bottom on it.&nbsp\\; It fits into the change pocket on my jeans and I can hit it with my right hand as I'm pulling up or after pulling out.

I have this one on my key ring.


I zip-tied one of those to a cable near the clutch lever.

I got a 12 volt powered remote, took the battery out, soldered in a jumper wire on the remotes switch terminals and soldered wires to the battery tabs in the remote, one too ground and one tapped into the high beam switch wire. This way you use the bikes battery to operate the remote, and you'll never have to replace the remotes battery again.

Ditto on the sears keychain remote, I switch from Jacket to Jacket depending on what I'm wearing/riding.

I just use the regular door opener that clips to a cage sun-visor. I just hang it on the clutch cable when it's not in the Road Glide's 'glove box'.

Before I picked up the key chain sized opener, I was just pulling the larger visor sized on from my truck and clipping over my belt on the back of my jeans.
