Does anyone have a good idea for mounting my I-Pass on the new trike?
Does anyone have a good idea for mounting my I-Pass on the new trike?
I got a holder at advance auto parts. $5.00 Sticks to windshield with 3 suction cups. Works great.

I use the sticky Velcro strips which came with the unit and stuck it to the lower left inside of the windshield. I have had mine there for over three years and had no problem.
Have you had any problems registering when you do 65 mph through the toll plaza when the unit is in the pocket? Let me know because my brother-in-law has had a problem keeping his unit mounted on the windshield, it keeps falling off the Velcro. If you have had no problems, I will tell him to put it in his left fairing pocket.
Thanks for the info.

I use the velcro strips and works fine and has never fallen off the windshield..
I have no trouble with my ez pass in the center pocket of my windshield bag.
Hang in there... You can outlast them...

I know there's times I wished I had one. Just for the times I end up in the wrong lane behind a tractor trailer. What a joke it turned into for me on one such day, bumper to bumper, way to hot with beating sun not a cloud in the sky for what felt like hours on end. Only to find I was in the wrong lane and the real life person in the booth outside of Buffalo, NY wouldn't let me pay, but was there to only hand out how to pay the state later, or else. Had to call a number and talk to another real life person that gave me the address to mail the toll charges to, where another real life person could open the envelope and who knows how many more real life persons were involved before my charge was credited. All that for a couple of bucks. It's insane, all that just to squeeze more money out of the folks.
So I stay of the superslabs and take the nice country roads, and there's Barney Fife handing out tickets for real and unreal violations and at the same time complaining that the interstate has robbed his little community of travelers that used to eat at the empty diners and sleep at the rundown empty motels.

All you have to do is have one for the trike. If it does not register, they will process the toll using your plate number. I have one registered against my trike, never put it on the windshield. It's also in the windshield pouch. On the toll roads around here, it's just a passive charge from the overhead scanner thing. You only need the tag if there is a gated toll both. Here in Texas, that's mostly just the airports now.
I found an EZ Pass toll holder at my local HD dealer. pass is about 3" x 3.5" x 0.75". it is mounter on handlebars on TG. Even though speaker in front of it, I usually have no problem with it being read at any speed.
I just did a search on tollway motorcycle holders and found a bunch on the internet...
I use to have it on the lower left corner of the windshield, but constantly snagging my towels when I clean the windshield pissed me off. I now have it in one of the tour pac lid organizer pockets and it works great. Has never not registered in any of the states I went through on my way to Rolling Thunder.
If you have an organizer - use it - doesn't cost anything more and it's completely safe from theft and don't have to carry it around compared to putting it in the windshield pouch or buying a holder.
