If you're not too picky you can drill a small hole in the fairing right beneath your seat (the one that says S4RS) I have grip heaters and have the switch moubted there. Easily accessible and clean looking...only thing is you will permanently ruin the fairing. Still, as long as you never take the switch out it will still look totally fine!

I like the idea of mounting it on the bike but it's scares me to mess with the wiring.

Quoted from: tinmanthe7th - " wait....that's a garage opener? where did u get that n how much...I want one!!!! "
Well, that is actually a bit of a DIY work. I will post a photo later but the gist of it is I took an old garage door remote, soldered a wire to the button I wanted to relocate and used a push button from Radio Shack (in the photo here). I heat shrink wrapped everything and it works like a charm. The remote itself is jammed between the battery and the airbox so it is safe and dry. So the only problem I have to solve now is where do I want this button to be so I do not have to look at it but I can still reach it...@superdooper has a good point, I will look into that

Mount it next to your ignition. Should have pretty good access there.

Uhm not the answer I was expecting but you might have a point. However I have a very old opener that is not programmable so this option might involve a full upgrade. Not unthinkable but maybe not for now...

Just get one for your keys. I have one for mine. They make them small for just about every receiver. You may have to program it.
