I thought about putting it inside the failring like others have done but I did not want to ride in the center of the lane to activate the transponder making me drive though all of the oil drippings.
I have never tracked through the center of the lane. The signal gets picked up no matter which side I happen to roll through on and I have gone through at higher speeds than posted, always with a green light when exiting.
I keep mine in my windshield pouch and it works great.
I bought the Tbag 3 bag contoured windshield pouch specifically for that reason and it works great..and looks great. My opinion
If I ever decide to get rid of the 3 bag windshield pouch set up I'd probably try the "under the fairing" setup. Sounds like the best idea to me. My .02
I found this out last year when I had my metal Leatherman in my windshield pouch. All of a sudden the first two toll booths I go through the pass wouldn't work. I take out the Leatherman and all was well again. The metal Leatherman was definitely interfering with the signal.

Sure, I can use those on my next build.
On a side note, you interested in a pair of take off jugs and some miscellaneous parts?
If you search "EZ Clip pass holder" you will find the holder that I have. Available from multiple locations in both black and white. It has worked well for me.
