Speed Pass - Just mount to bottome of windshield?

[TriPA]

...using two of those little plastic velcro thingys? Will it always be picked up by the sensors whent there? If not a good location, how did you mount yours? Thanks.

I have mine in my pocket and it picks up the sensor. A good place to mount it would be in your tank bib or even in the tool bag if you have one on the front of your bike.

I use my speed pass for my car and my bike, so this is why I havent mounted it anywhere. I just keep it in my cars center console and i keep it in my pocket when i ride the bike.

Speed Pass... for the gas station? Or toll roads? Not sure if it's goes by the same name in the U.S., the Speed Pass is specific to Esso (Exxon/Mobil) in Canada...

If that's what you mean, I'm not sure I'd do that... but I'll wait until I know if that's what you are talking about!

Toll roads... like in Florida, it would be called SunPass, or in my area, they are called Leeway pass.

Then that makes more sense!
Ours is called a Transponder...

[FL Vulcan Rider]

yeah... its called a transponder here too... lol...

maybe he WAS talking about the Mobil speedpass. LoL... i used to have a mobil speedpass.

I think he is talking about transponders though... because the speedpass just goes on your keychain.

Fast Lane Pass here.

Windshield in the cage, windshield bag or pocket on the bike.

I'm talking about the speedpass used for tolls. It's a plastic box about 4" x 4" that mounts to your windshield via two little stickers with velcro.

Ok, then put it in the tool bag.

My "speed pass" has even been in my glove compartment and still read the sensor. LoL.

CheriAnn gave me a link to this a little while back: JJ Cycle Pass, a new, convenient way for motorcycle riders to use electronic toll passes such as EZ Pass, M-Tag, IPASS, and Smart-Tag

She and Chaz have these, so I went and got one. WE have E-Z Pass in my area, I don't know if your transponders are the same shape or not.

I cross a toll bridge every day on my way to work, so this was a good idea for me. Works perfect.

Not me. It didn't read in the pocket of my leather and they mailed me a ticket.

I use one of those suction cup holders in the cage and bike, on the bike it goes on the bottom of the shield, right in the middle. I put a short wire leash on it just it case it comes loose. Which has only happened once, (used quite often)

Just move to the mid-west then you don't need to worry about such stuff. I have never paid a toll to drive anywhere. I refuse too, I already pay taxes to use the road and I shouldn't have to pay to use something twice.

Kevin you're not suppose to go thru the ez-pass lane doing 70

[mgrant0606]

I dont even carry mine. I just make sure the plate # is on the account. It shows up on the next statement. Have 7 vehicles and one transponder. Never a problem

Not sure what you mean. I know my job is pretty secure. One of 2 people working IT in an engineering firm of 250 located in 6 different cities. If that's what you meant then yes I can.

I guess it depends on where you live and what kind of system they use.

It also depends on if they get your plate on camera. I've gone through a couple of times when I had a bad transponder. Never heard a whisper. I think my luggage rack and sissy bar bag obscure the plate enough that they can't see it on the camera. You can see it fine from directly behind though.
