Great job, JC! Always like to hear about economical upgrades and this should certainly make your life easier, Even if only in a small way. Have a great day! 👍🏍️😊💜
Thank you. I can honestly say, I wasn't really sure how it was going to look. ...because PATIENCE...I have none. But it worked out in the end. Thanks for checking out the channel. Hope you stick around for more. Looking forward to checking out your videos.
I hear ya on that....the batwing is pretty easy to get off. I've taken the fairing off enough to where it's second nature. The battery should last a couple years anyway. My thinking was to have the button within reach with not too long of a wire run. But yes....there are any number of places for the remote.
Great video, I just saw one that you can buy from A company that looked really nice, the only difference was their’s had a hallo light and a price tag of $159.00 so I decided that was not for me. Thanks for the video, I’m going to put this into my 2020 Road Glide Limited, I’m just going to make the remote a bit more accessible so battery changes and reprogramming will be made easier.
Not too sure who or where to ask but how is the M8 motors for reliability now? What I mean is I see so many people with problems. For instance more than a few videos here show a new owner and are so happy and trouble free with no issues, then the owner of a 2020 had to have new cylinders and pistons because of the known oil issue even with updated oil pump. So if I where to purchase a new Harley, it seems to need the cam plate upgrade, oil pump, vented filler cap which will probably void any warranty. Or do I as so many others just see a few bad cases of broken bikes here and on the forums and others have no problems at all? I still like the Electra Glide Standard.
I can't really say for sure. I can only speak of my bike and my experiences. I have a 2019 Electra Glide Standard. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. I'm no mechanic so I can't give you a "tech based" answer. I can point you to several Facebook pages where you could pose a question like this. Try facebook.com/groups/611027315702088/ Here you can ask a question...but I have to warn you, be prepared for every "expert" to give you a different answer. Just sift thru the answers for the techs to chime in. Hope that helps.
Nice.. for me to accomplish this mod, I need to drill two holes since I have a garage remote that has two buttons. One for garage n one for common gate for condo where I live.
Thank you...I can't take all the credit...its been done before in some way or another. But I appreciate you checking out the channel. Hope you stick around.
In this case it was. I bought the Sony from Fathead Cycles. Unfortunately, they're out of business. They provided a harness that was a direct plug in. They also provided a module for the hand controls. The anp was pre-installed at the dealer, so that was already hooked up. I haven't looked, but I'm sure there are other companies that are selling the harness.
Since the posting of this video, I switched to a thinner guage wire. I have no issues wirh opening or closing the garage from downb the street. Yes, yiu have to remove the fairing to access the opener, but battery changes are few and far between.
05/01/2022, I wanted to give you an update. I also have an electric gate opener along with the garage. I decided to mount both bottoms on both my bag lids and they look pretty good. you barely see the black button. The openers are mounted on the inside lids. They open with out issues. Thanks again.
Why not just slip a standard clicker in your front vest pocket? I have for years with no issues and no matter which bike Im on it works. Didnt cost anything or had to mod.
less than 10 minutes...I'm constantly in and out of the fairing. Batteries in garage door openers last a long time anyway. The switch isn't water proof, but has a rubber o-ring...so it's not totally exposed. I've been caught in the rain already...not an issue.
To answer the question...yes. You'd have to remove the fairing. However, in all my years of using garage door openers, I can only remember changing one or two batteries. Besides, I'm in there so often, its not a big deal for me. There are plenty of other places to put it .
@@OnTwoandGo after I wrote that, I thought…”When was the last time I changed the battery in any of my openers?” I think maybe once. So, GOOD POINT! I guess I feel that my luck would be that the damn thing would need to be changed the week after I hid it in there, lol. I really like the idea of this extension with the momentary switch. I may see if I can find a way to put the opener in my Tour pack and run the wire to the switch on the under side of the pack, or something like that. Does Harley or someone make a momentary switch that fits the unused buttons on the lower panel? Next to the Fog Light switch? 2020 Ultra Limited
I'm sure you could. The beauty of it is, you could put it wherever you want. I'm not sure if you mean in place of the 12v plug (cigarette lighter). I use mine to charge things so I wouldn't do that. It could fit next to it, though.
Well this video is obviously not for you then. The only ignorant thing here is your assumption that everyone here is an electrician or tech. Maybe offer another option or explanation, rather than some open ended "ignorant" comment. Thanks for playing.

Great video, Brother. Semper Fi!

It's the little things that count🙂
Nice install on 2 and go 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks.
That's a cool budget friendly upgrade. Thanks for sharing this tip. Ride safe. 👍👊🇺🇸
Thanks, you too!
That's a nice clean install. I can never get those switches to look that nice. Great Job.

Nice! That's really cool, thanks for the video.
Thanks you....and thanks for watching!
I would have made getting to the garage opener easier to get to for when you have to replace the battery

Great share Fam. I might have to get one for the fat boy. 🤙🏾
It's really easy to do...once you find a spot for it
@@OnTwoandGo awesome!!
Man it’s in there nice and snug. 🔥
Yeah...I think it was a good spot. Clean.
Great video, I just saw one that you can buy from A company that looked really nice, the only difference was their’s had a hallo light and a price tag of $159.00 so I decided that was not for me.

Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great intro Fam 🤙🏾🔥
Mahalo. Trying new/different things.
Pretty slick!!
It makes getting into the garage so much easier. And cheap too!
@@OnTwoandGo nice
Or you could wire it to the high beam switch and just flash the high beam and it will open the garage door.
Hmm... didn't even think of that. Would avoid the drilling and a stealthier look.
Did I see the Mackinac bridge in your intro?
Sure did. I did a loop around Lake Michigan. One of my first videos. Hope you can check it out.

Hmm...never thought about that. I assume you just carry the remote with you then. Whatever works. Thanks for watching.
Great idea Mate. I should do the same, take care stay well.
Thank you...I can't take all the credit...its been done before in some way or another. But I appreciate you checking out the channel. Hope you stick around.
I noticed you replaced the head unit with a Sony. Was it plug and play?
In this case it was. I bought the Sony from Fathead Cycles. Unfortunately, they're out of business. They provided a harness that was a direct plug in. They also provided a module for the hand controls. The anp was pre-installed at the dealer, so that was already hooked up. I haven't looked, but I'm sure there are other companies that are selling the harness.
Was thinkin about this but not sure qhere to put it and might just do something removable and batt operated
Somewhere under the seat pan maybe.
@@OnTwoandGo haha too hard there lol
Just saw the flag, Semper Fi
Semper Fi! When and where did you serve?
@@OnTwoandGo 1980-85 last duty stations were 29 Stumps and Las Pulgas, Pendleton
Oh..the stumps...don't miss miss that place. I was in from 9/1991-1/2014. MSgt. Retired.
Sir , is the frequency affected by the remote placement?
So you have to remove the fairing to replace the battery?
Thank you
Since the posting of this video, I switched to a thinner guage wire. I have no issues wirh opening or closing the garage from downb the street. Yes, yiu have to remove the fairing to access the opener, but battery changes are few and far between.
@@OnTwoandGo thank you sir. Much appreciated

@@RafaelJimenez-hz9gu Glad it worked out for you.
You know that wire gauge is WAY overkill. 20, 22, 24 with Teflon insulation would work just fine.
Just using what I had on hand at the time. Have since changed to 20 gauge.
Why not just slip a standard clicker in your front vest pocket?
I have for years with no issues and no matter which bike Im on it works. Didnt cost anything or had to mod.
If that works for you, then roll with it. I don't want to be carrying another remote around with me. To each their own.
It's going to be a hassle to change the battery on that remote, and I hope that switch is waterproof
less than 10 minutes...I'm constantly in and out of the fairing. Batteries in garage door openers last a long time anyway. The switch isn't water proof, but has a rubber o-ring...so it's not totally exposed. I've been caught in the rain already...not an issue.
@@OnTwoandGo I put mine in the flip up compartment door.
@@robp750 Many options.
So you have to remove the entire upper fairing to change batteries in the remote opener?
To answer the question...yes. You'd have to remove the fairing.
However, in all my years of using garage door openers, I can only remember changing one or two batteries. Besides, I'm in there so often, its not a big deal for me. There are plenty of other places to put it .

Couldn't you use your spot where the cigarette lighter is?
I'm sure you could. The beauty of it is, you could put it wherever you want. I'm not sure if you mean in place of the 12v plug (cigarette lighter). I use mine to charge things so I wouldn't do that. It could fit next to it, though.
@@OnTwoandGo yea my bike still has the cig lighter.lol
This is an ignorant idea. Should have been fed power by the bike🤦♂️
