So before I went naked, I used to mount my ezpass tag on the bottom side of my windscreen. Never had an issue with this even after around 7k miles ad many tolls. After going naked, I had to find a new way to mount it, so due to ease of installation, I decided to zip tie it directly onto the center handlebar stay.
This worked perfectly for around 2 weeks, and then all of a sudden stopped working. I figured all the vibrations may have knocked something loose on the aging tag, so I called them up and had a new one delivered. This time I used some rubber to "insulate" the tag when I mounted it to help reduce vibration abuse.
This worked well for about 3 days, and then this morning, again the tag did not work. This is becoming increasingly annoying and I dont understand why this is happening.
First, does anyone have any idea why my tags keep malfunctioning when mounted in this fashion? I really dont think that bumps in the road and vibrations could be breaking this thing, but I could be wrong. Perhaps its the metal bars interfering?
Second, since apparently this method will not work, does anyone have any other ideas where or how I could mount the tag to avoid this? A friend of mine told me he had similar issues in the past and took a dremel to the tag to remove the inner circuit board. He then taped it up wth electrical tape, and mounted it under his fly screen. Said he hasnt had an issue since, but I would like to avoid hacking it up if possible.
