Default Ez pass on pan am? Mounting ideas?

I take my dirt glide everywhere. So I don't want to lose my ez pass in the UP of Michigan or even on the highway . I saw one video where he mounted his in the top of his rt hard case. My bike is a cvo. Will that work with my cases?

I put the velcro stickers on the flat incline surface behind the windshield. Motorcycle EZ Pass are usually smaller with an angle profile. So upside down, the are easing the air flow. Never had any issue in wet, mud, or otherwise.

I gave up on the big velcro pass and got (using Other as vehicle- not MC) the stick on one.

Second point is that as long as your bike is registered as having a tag (in Texas anyway)- they see the license plate and dedcut the toll.

Not every state has the stickers yet. And not every state allows a registered vehicle sans device to have unlimited passes through the toll device readers without a penalty.

My current device is about the size of two bic lighters.

Mounted inside windshield above cornering lamp. In KS they read license plate and put it on my account also. Ran without pass for while after I changed windshield, no big deal.

Nice thing about the Harley ElectraGlide with a trunk, the license plate is tucked under the trunk and apparently is it not readable with their camera angle in NC.

Same experience on my Road Glide Limited, saved lots of money when I rode through 37 states in 2020.
