My last motorcycle did not have a fairing so I hacked my Garage Door Opener (GDO). I bypassed the push button with wires to which I connected a remote push button "temporary ON" switch. I mounted the GDO inside the instrument cluster, drilled a small hole on the bottom and installed the switch. It was completely invisible unless you got down low then you could see the push button but it looked like it belonged there.
I was going to do a similar thing with my Chieftain but realized there was no need. I could easily conceal the GDO under the fairing within reach. It works perfectly. I used the 3M Super Strong Automotive Attachment Tape, the same stuff I used to mount my horn cover coin. That stuff is crazy strong but to be on the safe side and because it is hidden, I added 2 zip ties. One around the middle and the second one through the first one and around the forward bracket to keep it from sliding. The side bracket is tapered so the zip tie can slide back but not forward.
PS It is a small keychain type GDO remote.
