Default Toll Transponder?

Where do some of you place the units when traveling on toll roads? Also, how do you keep them secured when not in use during a ride? Thanks

Under my fairing about 4" below the top edge and directly over my radio. I use the velcro strips that are used to fasten them the inside of the windsheild. It is right under the eagle on my fairing.

Velcroed to the underside of the right saddlebag lid. It stays there and works every time.

It depends on the signal strength of the transponder. I tried mounting mine in the saddlebag lid, but it would not work.

In IL we don't have to carry it, they will just charge our account if we have a transponder that is active.... since they take pics from the front of the vehicle guess it doesn't matter if we carry it or not on or bikes.
