I had the HD opener on my '15 SGS, and then transferred it to my '17 CVO. On the '15, I could be 2 houses away and it'd work. My 'CVO is a hair less. I always hit it in front of neighbors house and it works just fine. BUT, The CVO wasnt like that with the transmitter located in the factory bracket attached to the amp mount. Located there, I had to damn near have the front tire touching the door before it'd work. I found mine to work best with the transmitter positioned flat, vs vertically as HD designed the bracket to, and located it elsewhere. Mine is zip tied on the left side of radio above the cig lighter plug to the wiring harness in a horizontal position. I had the fairing off and was playing around with locations while parked across street. This is what proved to be the fix for me. On my '15, I had it mounted flat next to the radio, as it didn't have the fairing amp with the vertical locating bracket. 2 bikes, pretty much same install, both work. Give this a shot and report back.
