Ralph Werner Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 In the toll-crazy Northeast, the EZ Pass is a poor but somewhat convenient solution to digging for change at a booth. The problem is where to put the transponder (I know where I'd like to put it!). Inside of my jacket, the device would work at some booths and not others. I did buy a mount from a Harley dealer that bolted to the mirror but I had to cut the rubber boot to make it fit (plus it looked fugly hangin' out there). I've searched for mounting spots inside of the fairing but nothing looks real good yet. Anyone have better luck than me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 (plus it looked fugly hangin' out there). 42209[/snapback] That's because you didn't mount the HD required leather tassles that go with it :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Werner Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 That's because you didn't mount the HD required leather tassles that go with it That shows how dumb I am - I thought that the tassels were for a leather halter top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Sorry Ralph- I don't have any good suggestions for you- kind of a side note instead. I was listening to NPR (Natl. Public Radio) this morning and they mentioned that someone had figured out how to hack and duplicate signals on the speedpass and (dammit) on the toyota prius and other cars that have keyless ignition. Their suggestion- wrap the key in metal to prevent it from transponding. Um, not sure but I think that defeats the purpose. Just sayin'. Actually- here's a suggestion- superglue a rare eath magnet to the back and affix it to the frame? Cheers, Jason (fan of rare earth magnets everywhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fox Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I'm guessing this is similar to the e-tags we have here in Australia? Anyhow a friend on mine uses velcro. One stuck to the dash of the bike and one on the back of the tag. Seems to work fine, and you don't notice the small black velcro patch when it's not attached. At least it may give you an idea.

twhitaker Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I took a couple pieces of velcro with the self adhesive backing and stuck my garage door opener to the underside of the fairing lip just below the left handlebar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ralph, I've seen them hung under the headlight with zip ties. One I saw looked like it was made for bikes - black and about 2.5 inches by 6 inches. Give your local DOT a call - legally we're entitled to the same amenities on the road. I'd think it would have to be different to gert the motorcycle rate - then the trick would be to affix it to your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rrbasso Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 You could take a old Rotor magnet and atach you pass to it and it will fit on your fork leg, or take a pice of PVC pipe cut in half and it will snap onto your fork leg, it will also be easy to take off.

Guest aj howard Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 When I called the EZ pass people here in Maryland and asked them about where I should attach my ezpass the guy on the phone suggested I leave it at home. He said I could just drive through, just so long as I registered the bike with the EZ pass site. I was told that some bikes don't set the sensor off anyway and they just use the license plate photo to bill you. I used my Rosso like that all last summer.. in several states with no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess next time I go through with midle finger exposed, just so I can be sure it's me in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 ^^ Did it at least a 100 times & I don't even have a E-Z pass. Pay attention Todd, don't run over the sensors . It was a motorcycle cop who showed me how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
