Default Sun pass

In FL they are called Sun Pass. You can go into your online account and add your license plates to your account. This way you do not need to have the transponder with you. Yes you get a red light and the horn sounds but the booth takes a picture of you plate and deducts it from your account just like you had the transponder with you. Works great if you have out of town guests also. Just add their plate to your account and it is deducted from your account also. We also get a discount for having the plates in our account.

And for all you naysayers out there I have been going through the toll booths on my bike twice each way on my way to/from work. Have been doing this for over a year without any issues.

Check and see if you states toll program has this.

I do this in Maryland. I've used it for several months. The cameras take pictures of my license plate and the toll is deducted from my account. No need to carry a transponder.

Same issue in NY, if your lucky the toll arm goes up and your on your way if not you have to wait for the plaza police to open it up.

I picked up a cradle for the transponder at my local auto parts store which has suction cups and stick it on the inside of the windshield and it works just fine.

I have a suction cup mount that I bought at the Car Wash for $4.95. I leave the transponder in the mount in the left glove box. If I am just shooting into the City and expect only one toll, I just reach in before the gate, toss it up on the dash, then put it back into the glove box.

If I am going somewhere that I am expecting more tolls (read as New Jersey) I use the suction cup mount to the back of the windshield. When I arrive, pull it off and back into the glove box.

My buddies with Bat Wings are all jealous because they do not have a convenient enough glove box to make that all happen, but with a Roadie you should be all good.

Wife's jacket pocket is another good location!!

Velcroed to front/left saddlebag lid. No significant issues. If it's not read, the plate is read and toll is "collected".

Thank you.

For Gods sake...really where to place an EasePass transponder?
Why don't you ask how to make your scooter your own....what mods might be well worth it.
By the way mine is on my windshield bag comes out when I go through a toll and if I am really adventorous I place the top sticky velcor on the windshield and when I know I am going to be going through tolls I stick it on there...the bottom is held by the top of the windshield bag.....so i really need one stick velcro.
And sometimes i hold the transponder woth my left hand over my head to make sure I pay that great American revenue generTor the toll, that were supposedly be taken down when the highway binds were paid off...
Everytime I turn around uncle Sam and cousin State have their hand in my pockets....I earn 100% I keep 50% as soon as I go over to 51% I am goin on welfare as it pays better to stay home unemployed.
