new ezpass installation
ordered a couple of ezpasses the other day for a 01 fatboy & a 04 sportster. I got the ones that are waterproof and black, that are usually installed on the front license plate of cars.
I don't like the look of an off whiteslice of cheese sitting on my handlebars. I have seen them painted black, but it is so big ruins the clean look of a Harley.
here is the one on my girlfriends sportster really the only way to mount it to avoid blocking the engine airway.
here is the one on my fatboy. looks a little better nice and low. out of the way.

RE: new ezpass installation

my only concern is when you go runs and the tolls are picked up by the organizers who run it, how am I gona cover it so it does not read....

That's pretty handy and it looks good to me. Pretty handy that they have those in black for you to put on the bikes.If the small squares on the ez-pass is where it sends and receives the signal you could probably tape over those when you don't want it to be read. I guess you could always test it out beforehand to see for sure.

The one I have for my bike looks like the satandard white widshield stick on. But it has a big blue 'M' on it for 'motorcycle' and you get charged a lower toll rate for it.
I just keep it in the leather tool bag un the risers and it picks up fine there.
If you don't want it to be picked up by the sensors you need to put it in a shielded static bag. The kind they use for packing electronic components in. If you need one just go to the local E-ZPass office and ask for one, they are supposed to give you one when you get it and they generally have them there for the asking if you loose or missplace it.
For a setup loke yours raaaaa. I would keep a set of spare zip ties along with the bag and cut it off and stick it in the bag when you don't want it and use the spare zip ties to put it back on later. I don't think you would be able to use the bag toshield it where it is. The heat from the regulator would probably cook the plastic off and make a mess.

RE: new ezpass installation
I just went out and took a couple of pics of mine to show what I was talking about.
Here's the bag on the risers that I have it in. I used the windshield stick-on velcro to stick it to the inside front edgeand I keep the bag folded up in there behind it in case I need to shield it for runs.
Here's the pass and I unfolded the bag and put it on the laft side. Sorry its semi=transparent and doesn't show too well in the pic.
