Default E-Z Pass located in Hard bags?

I remember a rider once telling me (and showing me) that he mounted his E-Z Pass (for tolls) on the inside lid of his hard bag and he said it worked fine from there.

Anyone else do that? (and does it really work from inside your hard bag?)

Then you don't need to worry about theft etc. (if it works.)

I have mine velcro'd to the inside of the batwing fairing right above the headlight.

I've heard of people putting in their saddlebags or the tourpak and it all works fine. I put mine in my windshield pouch and it works fine.

I'm going to mount mine in the inside of the tourpak lid to keep it more secure from theft.

Cool. Thanks!
I'd like to mount it somewhere secure, so I'll try the saddle bag lid.

Mine's inside the right bag, as long as I stay to the left going through the tolls it works fine.

Are you guys saying what I think you are saying? Mount it actually inside? I can't believe it, I just got three tickets and I held the darn thing up as I rode through. They cleared once I proved my account was up to date. The bottom line is I used the thing about 10 times in three days... and it failed three times. How does it read through the bags?

Mine always works in the windshield pouch...........no problems at all with it there.

But, I want to try it on the inside of the tourpak lid to see how it will work out. That way when I lock the tourpak, the EZ pass will be secure.
