It's extremely strong, holds even heavy things very solidly in place, but you can remove them if you need to (to throw the tag in the trunk when parked, for instance) - and unlike velcro, it doesn't wear out over time.
I've never had a problem with it! I take that thing off and throw it in the trunk every time I stop somewhere. The trick I think is to start pulling it off from one side, so it starts gradually coming off. I've never had the adhesive part come off instead of the fastener part either.tamathumper wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:53 am If you use the 3M Dual Lock, I recommend overlapping the two halves only about 50%. That stuff is so strong when fully interlocked that it's super hard to get undone without messing up the adhesive on the windshield or the transponder itself. At a 50% overlap it's still so strong it's never going to come off by itself, but you can convince it off the windshield with a rocking motion without disturbing the adhesive.
That works if your side pockets have securely locking latches. Sadly our trike does not. They will stay shut on their own, but not with anything attached to either side of them. I still can't believe nobody makes a good windshield with a holder built in. It would solve so many problems. Unfortunately when I'm riding with my grandpa, I can't utilize the pocket method since something in the outer shell of the original Rev-It! Defender jackets blocks RFID well enough that neither toll plaza nor bridge mounted toll sensors read the transponder. And putting it in my grandpa's cup holder (which does securely hold it) is hit and miss due to the holder's proximity to metal, not to mention it means he can't bring a cup of coffee with him on the ride.norbi1 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:38 pm For a few years I had the transponder attached to the back of the windshield. Few weeks ago, riding on the bumpy highway the transponder disangaged from the special 3M clips and I lost it. I ordered new one but trying to avoid same problem I did a little research on the placement. I didn't want to put it back on the windshield because when I tried to move 3M locking tape it took of special coating from the windshield. This made me try another location. I really liked the idea of keeping transponder in the back side pocket. Few riders had bad experience with that but I thought that since windshield is made from acrylic and pocket doors are made from some kind of thin plastic, it should work. And it does. I guess the secret is that you don't just toss it inside but you install transponder same way like on the windshield: on the 3M strips with the TOP arrows to the top. For a few rides I went to the state website to check if transponder is readable and so far I had no problem with the tools. I'm attaching a picture of the placement.20200901_230934.jpg
Have a great rest of the summer, people!![]()
As Tamathumper said, they CAME with 3M Dual Lock fasteners. That said, I have rolls of that stuff, so it's possible I used my own on it.
First, I usually buy it in 3/4" width, without adhesive. Shoe Goo is far superior to the foam tape they use. I buy some with the adhesive for quick jobs.tamathumper wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:53 am That stuff is so strong when fully interlocked that it's super hard to get undone without messing up the adhesive on the windshield or the transponder itself.
that will get you a citation in Oklahoma....mterraci wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 6:00 pm I use the EZ Toll mesh holder for my Sunpass (can see the EZ Toll on Amazon).
Just place my Sunpass in the mesh bag, slide the mechanism down to cinch it tight, and attach to the area just above the gas tank (will also attach to the handlebars or other area of the bike easily). Works every time, plus I can just take the Sunpass that's in my car and transfer to the motorcycle when I need it. I also like that when I park the motorcycle somewhere it's easy to remove the Sunpass and lock it in the trunk while I'm not there to keep an eye on it.
