I have mine right on the frunk hood, inside. If your doesn't read where you want to put it, they just send you a notice and then you give them the account info. Thats what they do in NJ anyway....

We've got a few roads that use the E-Z Pass around these parts. The Dulles Toll Road can *usually* read my pass in the frunk, but the Dulles Greenway can't at all (and there are no speed lanes-- you have to stop and pay if it doesn't read). I've got a velcro spot underneath my Madstad mounting plate that I've used that works better, but the metal plate still blocks it from time to time.
I think the next spot for my pass is the back of my Ultimate Seat driver's backrest-- I bought the little zip-pocket when I got the seat, but never felt comfortable putting anything valuable in it. That's probably a perfect place for the pass.
(Obviously, doesn't help my RT brothers & sisters, but figured I'd share for the RS readers in the crowd!).

Same here, on the inside of frunk lid and they have your plate if it doesn't read.
If your plate is in the system there shouldn't be any extra charge.

You can get extra Velcro and make it stay on the lid.
Just thinking it would be out of your way there.

Bob, do you have a dash pouch? I would think that a dash pouch would be ideal for placing the e-z-pass. I am thinking about a 3 compartment dash pouch to place my carry in while ryding.
Good Luck with your decision.. as always.. *Cognac Up..  .. Drink*

Put it inside the lid of the frunk. Works Great the, & no worries about it getting stolen.WP_000088.jpg

Industrial strength Velcro should hold it in place.

The picture says it all... Thanks!
I've currently got minebehind the zippered "Trap Door", that lets you get to the Battery. I THOUGHT that'd be a great place, since it can't get hit by anything that's in the frunk, and I seem to aways need just about every cubic inch of space that I can muster up!

The "velcro" that came with mine is a rigid plastic that requires a firm push to engage with it's mate. Also, it was mentioned to me to install so the label faced the rear of the bike, or in other words, the "velcro" side is towards the front.

Ours has been in same spot for over a year. Works great. Stock mounting Velcro in NJ is very aggressive and unit never has come loose slamming the trunk .

I have mine in the frunk behind the frunk liner just above the manual and cd holder. Never had an issue with it reading. Not worried if it didn't read the odd time has they just read your plate and match up in the system anyway.

I was just discussing this with a friend yesterday. He puts it in the lower center of his w/s. He has had problems in the frunk when he has the luggage there.

I did last summer on the Garden State Parkway in NJ (both directions) and at the Tappan Zee Bridge in NY. In NJ, the tolls are higher because they charge by the number of axles. Other states may do the same.

I had the same problem...
I think that I plugged in "Other", and then Can Am Spyder in the model field...

I just put mine in my jacket or vest
I just put my EZ Pass in my left vest pocket. It reads fine as I ride through. Never had an issue.
