Default EZ Pass Question

My question is this for your ez-pass users where do you locate it out of sight? One thing I have thought about is behind the fairing on the top attached with Velcro or double stick tape. Has anyone done this?

Thanks Don

I tried it in my saddlebag...didn't work...but it does work from my fairing pouch...

don't know if it's becasue it was too low, or if the fiberglass interferred....

I'd love to mount it in my fairing, though!

Mine is inside the fairing ontop of the radio. No issues here in Texas.

Orientation of the unit has a lot to do with satisfactory operation.

Mine is on the front edge of my throttle side saddle bag lid, works most of the time.

Mine is mounted inside my tour pak lid, right behind the passenger back rest. It works fine for me there.

I think the battery is dead in mine. I have to actually place it on top of the manual reader pillar to open the gate.
