I did my own for about 15 bucks...
Parts I used:
(Sorry) Harley Davidson
Description                  P/N
"Switch, Trip Reset"    57488-04
"Boot, Reset Switch",  67880-94

Wired the reset switch to an old garage door opener I had. Mounted the button next to the heated grip controller. Wrapped the garage door opener in a heavy duty zip-lock bag and wire tied it to the bracket in front of the glove box.
Has been working great for almost a year (how often do you change the batteries in a garage door opener??)

Happy to post pic's if anyone would like.

Must admit I did not.  :-[

In fairness though it is a spoof of http://youtu.be/tXgC5keQGtw (http://youtu.be/tXgC5keQGtw) which is what inspired me to install mine.
Cheers!
