Hey guys!!

I have finally gotten my Blast in order, and am looking to ride it more and more. I live in Boston, so inevitably I will be hitting tolls if I want to go anywhere...

Wondering if anyone has found a way to bring their EZ Pass with them and have it register when you pass through the toll. I was told by the lady I got it from to either mount it on my wind screen (took the wind screen off, was too doofy looking) or put it in a jacket pocket. Well, I rode to work the other day with it in a thin canvas like jacket. The toll wasn't able to read the EZ Pass, flashing the light to call EZ Pass. Today on my way to work I tried a backpack side pocket, and one toll didn't do anything when I drove through, the other again flashing the contact EZ Pass light. I don't really want to mount it to the bike so that its front and center, but obviously the jacket pocket isn't working for me either, let alone when I go to a heavier leather jacket, or go no jacket at all (I know I know, dangerous). Any ideas that people have found to work??

Also, whats the point in having a bike if you can't take the lady on a romantic drive along the Cape or around beautiful New England??? I'm looking for a GPS mount that will mount onto some bars, stock ones now but eventually on a pair of clubmans (bought these, a guy said he has them on his blast and it doesn't limit the range of the bars much https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058FETMM/ref=o h_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or low profile superbike (if anyone has suggestions of real low profile superbike bars, I'm a tall guy and can use the room of a lower bar setup). Can anyone offer some help so I can score some extra points with the girlfriend?? I bought a Roam co-pilot (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013MDDEDG/ref=o h_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but it looks like it needs quite a bit of room behind/under the bar in order to properly secure to the handlebar. Have yet to try it, maybe today after work, and I will let you guys know how it is.

That center for those bars are too small - the wider center the better. The holder will fit - but not the center area.
