Sun pass transponder

Is there any way that a stick-on SunPass transponder could be used on a motorcycle?

Do you mean the Sunpass Mini transponder about the size of a credit card or the Portable transponder with suction cups?

I use the Portable for cars and motorcycles. On bikes I only use it on Iron Butt rides stuck to the back side of the windshield and doubly secured with blue painter's tape.
 
Yes, an account is all you need..... but in Florida toll by plate can be 30% more depending on the road which might be factor for commuters. Plus there are some tolls in Florida that are not Sun Pass Toll By Plate and of course many states have toll roads with no Sun Pass reciprocity.

No, in Florida if your plate is registered (with DMV and Sunpass :rofl1:) you are not charged the toll by plate rate by Sunpass. At least I wasn't for the 50+ tolls I've had posted to my account with my transponder sitting in my wife's car at home.

Here's a copy of what the Sunpass charges look like with wife and transponder, and my bike without, for the same exit (again WITH plate Sunpass registered):

09/10/2021 09/10/2021 000xxx0000865xxxxxxxx0 SR589 SPRING HILL MAIN NB MP32 $1.07
09/14/2021 09/10/2021 MHEP43-FL (view image) SR589 SPRING HILL MAIN NB MP32 $1.07

Same fee, the only differences is transponder number vice plate number and it took 4 extra days for my plate to post the charge with the same transaction dates.

I have two transponders and 5 vehicles registered with FL DMV and Sunpass. Some tolls on non Sunpass roads don't invoice through Sunpass. You should get out more.

I'm talking about the Mini, yes like a credit card. It is not supposed to be used on Bikes because do not stick to plastic or because do not transmit the signal?
I will like to use the Mini because it can not be stolen.

Like Tom said if you are traversing just SunPass roads you can leave the transponder at home.
 
This may or may not be relevant given I'm in CA and use a FasTrak transponder. It's stuck to the inside upper portion of my left pannier and it trips the counter every time. We have the peel n' stick versions but once applied they're apparently a bear to remove. I've seen what happens when someone tries to remove a bumper type sticker from a Honda windshield so peel and stick is out.
