There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

RAM mounts are pricey but work very well.

What is the best way to mount your E-ZPass (or FasTrak, SunPass, IPass, etc depending on where you live) on a Spyder?
I've even heard of some people putting velcro on their helmet and attaching the E-ZPass on your forehead but I don't really want to do that!
I stick it to the inside of my windshield...against the backside of the dash...works great...totally stable...
You don't have to worry about anyone stealing it as each time it is used, a picture is taken...if the pic doesn't match your licenses that you have filed, the offending vehicle is gonna get in big trouble...

I mounted mine at the bottom of my windshield right at the top of the dash with industrial strength velcro....no problems with visibility

Thanks for all the great ideas, but I hadn't thought of mounting it inside the trunk. I was worried that the trunk lid might be too thick for the E-ZPass signal to be read but apparently not. I think i'm gonna try the trunk mounting!
I thought of mounting it at the bottom of the windshield but I want to leave that real estate open for a future GPS.
It does not work in NJ/NY mounted in the trunk, tried it for about 5 time and it never picked it up inside there.

If you ever park where you have to put money in a machine that spits out a slip, you may want to consider one of the RAM mounts. You can slip the parking stub underneath the plastic strap that holds the EZPass in place. I didn't want to put anything on the windshield. When not using the EZPass the mount comes off.

Yep, I've also tried it in the trunk and in NJ/NY it fails. I have mine in my tankbag and it has always worked there. The only problem is that I have to remember to take it out overnight or when I can't see the bike.

The trunk is not a good idea...if you have to stop to get it out, you're in trouble. It's not meant to be hidden...it's supposed to be out in the open/behind glass only...
Just take the thing, use the velcro, and attach it to the lower windshield, against the back of the 'dash' area...it won't go anywhere and you'll never have to worry about it...
Nobody can use your EZ Pass without going to jail...
It's visible and works every time...

I never carry it just register all my plates, and let the toll figure it out.
I just register all my plates on the Internet under my account, and then let the computer camera id my plate, and with draw from my account. In FIB land that is how it works for me. Call your tollway authority, and ask them what happen when you ride your motorcycle with there being a chance that the sensor would not pick it up. Play Dumb, and see what they tell you.

Now that is one great idea, you are right your plates are married to the tag id and yes if the tag does not read the camera will take a photo and match it up to your account. The only problem is in NJ sometime the cops sit just pass the toll plaza and can tell if your tag did not read and of course they might pull you over, it happen to me twice but I had the tag in my jacket pocket and they did not give me a ticket but lost time for the stop.

OH boy...I keep saying it and nobody is listening (or reading)...
Sure....you can list all your licenses along with your transponders....that's perfectly fine...however, if the scanner cannot find/read your transponder, you're SOL...
It is very easy, practical, and smart to put the transponder on the inside of your windshield...the velcro tabs will stick just fine and your transponder is visible and works well there...nobody is going to take it as it has no value to anyone...

Scotty,
I didn't even know you had roads in Michigan, although Jeff Daniels does nice commercials!
