E-Z Pass Report...

[Bob Denman]

Hi Guys! Last year; we finally got registered with the E-Z Pass system here in New York, and got the modules for our two "cages", and one for the Spyder.
The Spyder seemed problematic; I first mounted it on the underside of the Frunklid with the Velcro that was supplied. Every time I let the lid down in less than the gentlest manner; the darn thing would end up at the bottom of the frunk! (Where it doesn't get read!! :banghead:)
I initially settled on just using two-sided tape (The really good stuff!), and sticking it to the top of the dash. It worked okay; but it looked like CRAP up there. I also feared that some punk could easily ruin my day, should he want to take it home as a "prize"... :shocked:
Over the Winter, I decided to mount it right up on the front of the frunk. I loosened up the frunkliner, and used lots of Duct Tape, to mount it to the front wall... Once I put the liner back in place, it's location is only barely noticeable by a bulge... :thumbup:

...And it Works!!! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes: Today was my first chance to get out onto a Toll Road, and the location is a good one to use!
I'll try to get some pictures of it sometime this week... ;)

I leave mine under the rear trunk inner flap and works fine when I go thru tolls

I hate tolls and avoid whenever possible. Seattle area has gone toll crazy.

[NoLmtz]

In Texas the toll authority told me to take my tag off completely as they tie the account back via the license number. The good is I don't have to worry about placement. The bad, it usually takes a couple of months for them to actual reconcile the charges to my account.

Here ya go!

I have had mine in the small glove compartment on all three of my Spyders (2008, 2013, 2014). It has always worked there even under glasses, ear plugs, candy bars and LED flashlight.

:shocked: Doesn't that make your eyes tear-up too much for riding??? :shocked:

TrikerM... That's a good spot... but it's right where I have my XM radio mounted! :gaah:

[cuznjohn]

well i tried it at first on my chest. but i had to shave the one hair i had there and it took 64 years to grow it. and like i said it does hurt at first but once your brain goes numb it is not a problem

You can mount it anywhere in the trunk as I had it laying in there before I moved it to that location. :thumbup:

Awaiting pics.

On Saturday 6/7 I took a trip to Lake George. I had mine in leather windshield bags. Misread 3 times so I held it in my hand coming back. EZ pass charged me for entire i90 length cuz it read entering at plaza 1 and 10 hours later exiting same plaza. Never read exiting in Albany or re-entering there a few hours later. A dispute with exit numbers etc got it rectified within 3 days.

Now I need a better location. However I am gun shy after that experience.

[Bob Denman]

If the weather co-operates, I'll get some pictures this afternoon...:thumbup:
Albany's tollbooth read mine perfectly... TWICE!

[oldguyinTX]

I have had mine on the inside of the frunk lid for two years, never fallen off, always gets read. I think the trick is, when you use the heavy duty plastic "velcro" supplied with the tag, you have to push the tag really hard until the two "velcro" pieces literally snap together. You can both feel it and hear it. Anyway, it has worked for me.

That's not a bad spot...

...but it did make it tougher to get my helmet in the frunk; it would hit the module, and then I'd have to start shifting it around, in order to find the way to make it fit... :shocked:

I put my helmet in the frunk upside down and it has not been a problem for me. Tag stays where it is put.

[cuznjohn]

i have mine attached to the windshield with the plastic Velcro they give you, it never moves

[flaggerphil]

I have a Florida SunPass...it has two suction cups on it for the windshield. I keep mine stuck on the underside of the windshield when on the road and just lock it up in the back trunk when I'm parked. Works fine.

[trikermutha]

after watching mine bounce off my windshield to the dash then to the hwy I decided to just put in the trunk..
Lesson learned don't assume you put the I pass on the velcro properly..:lecturef_smilie:

[Bob Denman]

:agree: :shocked:
I should be able to get some pictures today... :thumbup:

[Dan McNally]

I had a problem with mine coming loose from the supplied Velcro-like attachment . . . then I discovered you could order more, for free, online. Now I have the whole back of the EZ Pass covered with the Velcro (four pieces, instead of two) and it holds very well . . . underside of the frunk

[trikermutha]

Does the Duct tape actually hold on that long? :roflblack: Sorry had to throw that out there..

[Bob Denman]

Between the Duct Tape and the frunkliner; it hasn't moved at all! :thumbup: :D

Like others, I don't carry the ez pass. The Spyder is registered online and they just take the tolls out of my account. Don't forget to register your trailer also.
