Just hit the open booth at 100+ MPH and there's no way they'll read your plate!![8D]

Here in Florida we use these RF tag boxes too. The fairing WILL NOT degrade the signal. But distance from the the box to the reader can be an issue. I have friends who say if they mount it too low on the minivan windshield, it won't pick up. The best is to either put it in a pocket and haole it high as you are goin thru or put a suction cup mount hight in the shield.

i also had the white tag which was an eyesore on my road king windshield and it started acting up. so i called ez-pass and they told me that they had another kind of tag that some cars use because of windshield issues. it is black about 1.5" wide and about 10.00" long. they told me to mount it on the downtube of my frame with zip ties. and since the frame is black you can hardly notice it. i have it for 3 weeks now and so far so good.

I have an 07 Street Glide in PA. I have gone throught the booths of the PA turnpike a number of times with the sensor mounted in the lid of the left saddlebag and it has worked every time so far. My brother-in-law did the same thing with his 05 Ultra and he has had no problems. Got the advice from this site.

Any suggestions? My initial thought was inside of the windscreen down as low as possible.
I have a 07 UC, initially installed in the leftmost of the three pouches, now have it installed on the inside of the tour pack (keeping it waterproof). Works great in MD & Jersey.

Wow... I am really surprised! I never thought that the pass would be read through something like a fairng or the inside of a tourpack or saddlebag. The great part about inside the luggage is that it is quickly accessible to the toll booth operator if it fails to read automatically. I think I am going to try to mount it inside the left saddlebag on my Ultra and give it a try.

I live in PA as well and go through the 276 tollbooths quite often back & forth to Philly.

i put it in the windshield bag of my road king classic... reminder if you go thru a toll lane that is a high heavy truck(rock truck/ dump truck) regardless of transponder location it may not work..i got a nice picture of the back of my bike in the mail yesterday..no big deal just had to register the bike license plate to transponder..

Thanks for info.. will call our state EZ-Pass office and request one. When I remove the front fairing, I will install there and remove the "white" one from my tour-pak.
