Need a Glove Box for my "B"

I need a place to store my community gate "clicker" (which is also my garage door opener) on my Bagger. The saddle bags are not an option because I would have to stop the bike and get off to access it. My jacket was my option until the weather changed and I forgot to put the remote in my new jacket and I would have to switch back and forth between the two jackets. I think the GT has a glove box? That would be a good idea for the Bagger. Also need a spot for the Turnpike Toll transponder (not waterproof).IMG_1330.JPG The right side of the fairing would be a good location.
 
Since the B handlebars has a cross bar, a small handlebar bag my work.
Something like you would see on a dirt bike or bicycle.
A Harley shop is another place to look.

I have the touring handlebars (no cross member) on my Bagger as opposed to the drag style handlebars (has the cross member). But, I appreciate your input, perhaps that may benefit others.
 
I seem to recall some electronic gizmo that hard wires into the turn signal circuit to control a garage door opener. But I can't remember the product. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Will this bag fit the B fairing?
Not cheap but it looks handy.

No glove box on the "B" :scratch. Seems like a huge oversight by the BMW designers. I have a buddy who has the Grand America "B". I'll have to razz him about this flaw. :)

I actually have a Chase Harper handle bar storage bag for my Grand America that's similar to the German version only much cheeper, but since you have the Cast bars and can't use a handle bar mounted bag, your might want to consider a Tank Bag for your storage needs. RKA makes bags specifically designed for the K1600 bikes.

I am wondering in you have the Chase Harper Barrel Bag. Seems like the only one in their lineup that would work on the GA cross bar.
