Got an Ez-pass? Where did you mount it on your Spyder RT ?????

[RayBJ]

I found the jacket pocket method to be spotty with no obvious reasons for missing the reader. I ended up putting the EZ Pass on the underside of the frunk lid. Works every time and is removable (3M Lock). On my bike, it's on the windscreen w/3M lock.

Does anyone know if an EZ Pass will work if it is mounted to the underside of the front trunk hood?

 

[RayBJ]

YES it does. My EZPass is stuck to the underside of the frunk with the 3M strips. Never had an, "EZPass not read".

When I lived in CT, that's where I put it. Only a couple places where it didn't work, The Bear Mountain Bridge, and the Newburg Bridge. Was fine anywhere else.

New York EZ Pass has a motorcycle specific pass that charges less. There is a procedure for registering it with them as a motorcycle.

Bear Mt Bridge is ALWAYS hit-or-miss. I had my EZPass on the left side on top of my gas tank (2-wheels) and I had to hand it to the toll collector to copy the s/n of the pass for it to activate.

I keep mine in the Glove Box and as IO approach take it out and hold it up in front of my forehead.
Has yet to be a problem.

I used to work on EZ pass in NJ. I had an F3 Ltd with the transponder in the frunk (not mounted on the lid), it worked most times except on the NJ turnpike. So I mounted the transponder in the glove box and never had an issue.
What people don't know is that the middle of the lane is where the strongest signal is to capture the transponder. The lower the transponder then it has a smaller area to get the signal.
The higher the transponder the better chance of a good read. The signal is wide on the top of the lane and narrow at ground level.

There is also a transponder only for a motorhomes , the car transponder has a weaker signal

Wherever you mount it, make sure you remove it when towing or trailering the Spyder. Otherwise you will incur charges for the tow vehicle and the Spyder, unnecessarily.

Well if your car, trk, motorhome etc. is towing a trailer the trailer will trigger a toll fee. .... I agree, don't leave the EZ-pass on the Spyder, annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd if it's in your veh. make sure it's in the special metalic case it came in, so it doesn't trigger a toll ......Mike :thumbup:
