wired switch to remote?

[P3dro]

hi all,
i have a garage door wireless remote clipped on my motorbike. it's too large to attach anywhere near the handlebars so i'd like to add a small button on the handlebars that is wired in to said wireless unit to send that signal when pressed and in range of the receiver....does anyone know if this is possible and how i would go about it?
I have spare wire left from when i connected the receiver unit to the wired button inside the garage already and i have a soldering kit but i'm not sure what i should be soldering the wires to on the wireless remote, what button / switch to use, and if this is even possible!?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

update, i found this button on ebay hoping it will do the trick?

Difficult to say without seeing it, but I'd guess that a momentary push switch connected in parallel with the built in switch of the remote would do it.

What bike have you got? There's a few bikers on here.

Thanks DPG that sounds encouraging! Would a photo of the board inside the remote help at all?
I'm currently on a CBR1100XX, yourself?

Yes, post a photo of the PCB.

I've got a Kawasaki Versys and an Armstrong MT500.

Have to admit I needed to google "Armstrong MT500" but that looks like a lot of fun and a classic design. I'm a sucker for classics. Royal Enfield have a "Classic Military" bike that I have one eye on (one day!)
I used to own a DR800 Big which was lots of off road & green-lane fun!

But I digress, here are the images!
Thanks again for your help

You need to connect a momentary switch across the existing push button connections on the rear of the PCB. Do this carefully with some fairly narrow gauge wire.

To prove this will work, try shorting the switch pins on the PCB rear with a piece of wire. Ensure the door operates.

Make sure you give the cable some strain relief - maybe a small cable tie or 2
