Easypass Mount

[RonBomb]

For those who have wondered where to permanently mount an Easypass transponder, my solution was under the beak. I used three plastic tie downs to secure it. The beak fits over and completely hides it. I tested it today and it works well. I have a picture of the mount, but for some reason I'm not able able to attach it.

A couple of us mounted our E-Z Passes under the beak a few years ago, and all experienced a no-read every now and then. This happened to me often in the high-speed lanes, particularly on the Garden State Parkway in NJ. A $118 ticket from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority gave me motivation to mount it to the inside of my windshield.

I hope you have better luck. Maybe the scanning devices are better now.

I mount mine on the inside of my left GS hand guard. Works like a charm.

I strap mine to my right bicep using a plastic holder and a short bungee.

Remove the suction cups, add a 9" bungee. I've only tested it twice on the PA turnpike (low-speed readers), need to take it down to Delaware where they have 55mph readers to see if it works.

I tried to do that a while back, but couldn't get it to mount squarely. How'd you do it?
Got any pics?

My EZ Pass would not work reliably in my jacket pocket or in my tank bag. I did not want to put it on the windshield because it could fall off or someone could steal it (hey, this is the greater NYC metro area).

So, I got the license plate version of the transponder. This is the black one that mounts to a front license plate, for cars whose windshield composition prevents the interior transponder from being read correctly.

I mounted the license plate version with zip ties under the beak. It is the perfect width -- the license plate holes are just a bit narrower than the fork legs -- and it is completely concealed. The EZ pass system picks up this transponder almost 100% of the time, and I never have to think about it. They do not charge extra for an extra unit, so give it a try. The only place I have had a problem is on the bridges that go between PA and NJ on I-78 and on I-80. Unfortunately, they have gates, too, so I cannot just go through them.

BTW, if you register your license plate number with EZ Pass, they will find you if there is the occasional mis-read, so you should be able to avoid any penalties or fines.

The only possible downside is that some day a zip tie could break and the unit would wedge under the fender, stop the front wheel, and I would flip over and die instantly.
