I keep mine in the glove box of my car. I do not bring it outwhen I go through the tolls and have had no problems reading the sensors.If I use it for the bike, I just keep it in my pocket. The only way it would not read the transponder is if you keep it in the protective plastic cover that came with it. I would leave it in your saddle bag or wherever, and should you have to pull it out it would be easy enough. Remember that they do go bad after a few years and need replacing.
I have a windshield bag on my RK and I just put it in there. Works like a charm and it's easy to move between the truck and the bike and I don't have to attach it to anything on the bike. I love it! No more digging for money while standing in oil trying to keep the bike upright.
Don't forget to tell the ezpass people that you want your bike on your account!
I have mine left of center on my Road King windshield and it works half the time. I got more of the velcro strips and I'm gunna try right of center next.
Is anybody dumb enough to steal an ezpass? I take that back.
In NY sense a bike is cheaper than a cage; they have them just for bikes, call EZPass tell them you want one for your scoot and they will send one which says
Motorcycle and garanteed to only charge bike rates
Mine has never worked right on the bike. It really needs to be up high and tilted back a bit just like it would be if it was mounted as instructed. There are holders for the EZ Pass/FastLane transponders for bikes. Mount to the windshield with suction cups.
After a few failed atempts to use mine in NH last year I have given up and just pay cash.
Besides I don't like the "Big Brother" aspects of the device.
Unfortunately, low dead center on my FastAero 8". I tried putting it in the left lower glove box, it could be read by the express EZ-Pass readers and even worked the 2x I tried it at the bridge toll with the gate. It DIDN"T work on the entry and exits to the turnpike, so I scrapped leaving it in the glove box. It looks lousy, but I have run out of alternatives.
