Default E-Z pass transponder

Where do you guys put yours, and do they work well there?I installed a 3 bag windshield bag and I was wondering if they work from inside? digging it out of my pocket and holding it up is getting old. Thanx

here in FL we have an option to add our license plates to our accounts

so you don't even have to carry it with you, they just charge you when they read the tag and if they don't get a clean shot of it, well then you just got a free pass

I don't carry mine any more

Mine is stuck to the underside of the outer fairing just above the radio. Works great

It'll work in your saddlebag or a fairing pocket.

story:
My Pal in Lives N of NYC, works in the City & keeps his motorcycle EZ pass in his riding jacket pocket.

A couple of winters ago he decided to store his bike at a shop and rode over with spouse following him in the suv.
after dropping the bike, he threw his jacket, helmet and gloves in the back of the suv.

It was about 4 months before he noticed that each time he went through a toll he got charged twice...( x a few a day x 5 days a week)

The nice Lady at EZpass explained to him that that is why the ezpass had been delivered to him in a metallic bag to block the RF and avoid spurious charges...and it was an expensive lesson for him.

In my windshield bag. Not issues anywhere with it there.

I had an issue when I forgot that I put it in my saddlebag once. The toll booth didn't pick it up.

Yeah, What this guy says. Mine is located directly under the eagle on the fairing just above the radio. It has never failed.

RF chip embedded just behind my left ear...only hurts when I go near a radar site....

seriously, In my windshield bag or at home. OK has my license plate, but charges a full fare instead of the EZ Pass dscount fare if it doesn't read my pass

If you ride on the line going through the sensors, you don't need an EZ Pass. The sensors won't pick you up. Another benefit of riding a motorcycle.
