Stuck to underside of the TourPak Lid always worked.

EZ-Pass is just another way to leach off of the consumer.  Monthly fees and transponders registered to vehicles.

Montgomery County MD opened a toll road a while back and while the tolls are run by the EZ-Pass system, the county required that the gates be unmanned and accept non-EZ-Pass customers.  So I can just drive through, with nothing at all on my vehicle.  And even though I'm no longer registering my vehicles in MD, I get a bill in the mail.  So I pay the same tolls as members, less the monthly fee.

It should be that way everywhere.  No transponders and no monthly fees.

I just register my plates and leave the transponder in the car? What do you need the transponder for anyway?  They read the plate from the photo if it doesn't catch the transponder.

The battery was dead on my transponder for over a year and they finally sent me a notice. However, 25% of the time they couldn't read the plate and therein lays the bonus.  As long as the plate is registered, you're covered, if they can make it out.  If they don't, their loss.

They just started a similar system on the Golden Gate bridge a week ago.  You have to go on line and enter your vehicle lic. # etc.  If you don't do it prior to and it takes your photo, then you have 48 hours to go on line and do it after the fact.  If they don't receive it within 48 hours you'll be receiving a pricey little souvineer in the mail in another week or ten days.

Fast track is just so much easier.

EZ-Pass here in NYC is quite different from everywhere else.  You can not pass the gate without a EZ pass. Your license plate is recorded to insure they match to your account otherwise the gate arm does not open to allow you to pass. Mounting the pass to the lid of the saddlebag is not a fool proof method the gate will open 100% of the time.  I feel that some pass readers are more sensitive than others.  I try hitting the lanes that work for me.

Glad I don't pay a monthly fee for my transponder. Why do that?

I have a chrome holder that mounts right on my handlebar. My son uses a pouch that he has zip tied under his headlight. Both work

As far as putting it in the fairing, I know people who have done this and it works. But it's a pain to get to it if you ever need to. With mine on my handlebar I can take it out easy enough as well which is great because I also use it in my truck

I carry mine in the compartment in the right lower in the winter, in the summer with the lowers off I keep it in the rt upper compartment on my SERG. Have used it all over Florida with never a problem.
