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

 

[DrAwkward]

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.

Well; I just got a packet in the mail with these E-ZPass doodads...
The Cages; I've got figured out: stick them up on the dash right where it makes it impossible to access the registration and inspection stickers...

But the RT... :dontknow:
I opened up the frunk, and found a flat wall behind the zipper that gives me battery access; Can it be read by the scanners through all of that cloth and plastic? It seems like a GREAT spot; it's protected, and out of the way!
Or is it just too good to be true? :shocked:

pps: Too many jackets... pps:
But that sure would be a nice solution! :2thumbs:

Put it inside the lid of the frunk. Works Great the, & no worries about it getting stolen.View attachment 87233

That is the same place that I put mine from PA at...... Had it there on the 11 also, never had any issues with it being picked up at the booth.

Have you ever had trouble with cargo up front knocking it loose?
Or not being able to close the frunklid?? :yikes:

when pulling a trailer do you still go thru the ezypass fast lane ???

I was told that I could drive through most tolls and they would just count the axels. The one exception I was warned about was New York, I was told I should stop and get ticket. They credit the ez pass read for the bike and charge for both at the other end. Just make sure you registered the trailer license plate with ez pass. Please note I could not register trailer on line I had to call for them to add to the system.

btw, never had an issue with the ez pass reading in the frunk behind the liner even with the frunk stuffed. Again not a huge worry has they scan your license plate anyway and match in the system. That's why you're not supposed to use the ez pass in an unregistered car.

its fun to mess with them anyway, ride through with the ez pass, stop at the service station and put the ez pass in the electrostatic bag it comes in and exit some time later.

I always wondered if you blast through the cameras at 95 mph if they can pick it up? :yikes:

 

[mastertek2000]

I did add my trailer, but on the web site it would not let me save the plate type it would error. So I called them and had them add the trailer make model and plate etc .

e-zpass

hi Bob I have a 2014 rts and what I did was to tape the unit to the top of the front frunk inside it woks great and very secure put it in a plastic baggy then taped it up...

I put mine under the frunk lid also.
The Newburgh-Beacon bridge doesn't read it, and the Bear Mountain bridge is iffy.
I haven't had luggage knock it loose, however my RT is Timeless Black (the fastest color, proven beyond a doubt using quantum physics).
Sometimes, during the heat of the day in summer, the frunk gets hot enough that the stock adhesive on the mounting strips comes loose.
A little Gorilla Glue and I'm good to go.

 

[Bob Denman]

Mine has been up in the nose of the bike (taped un place underneath the front document pouch.) It has always been read by the tollbooths.
It was suggested that I try the left rear document pouch, and I'm going to do just that! :thumbup:
(I've never been able to get them to stick to the Frunklid... :banghead

EZPASS HAS CHANGED

When I got my Motorcycle EZPass (NY) in 2013, I was able to add the Spyder and trailer online with no problems. The Spyder is listed as "Initial Veteran Motorcycle" with the plate number and vehicle code 136. The system did not allow me to enter the make or model, so those are listed as "Other". The trailer is listed as just that, with the plate number and vehicle code 72, make "Other". and model "1 axle trailer. The big change now for motorcyclists is that in order to get a motorcycle specific EZPass (it is smaller that a regular EZPass and has an M on the back) you must either go to an EZPass center with your registration, or mail a copy of the registration to an EZPass center. The advantage of a motorcycle specific transponder is lower tolls. Trailers, I don't know how they are dealt with now as far as registration, but there is no EZPass for trailers. Tolls are higher when pulling the trailer, as the classification becomes 3 axle.
