I'm not sure where this really fits so I will try here. It is hard not to leave my neighborhood without paying a toll. I have an Easy Pass for my cars. Does anyone have suggestion for using one on a BA? I would like to keep it unnoticeable as possible.

Put it in a tool roll on your forks or down on the forward control bar. Its only the size of a garage door opener, right?

I've got separate transponders for my car and bike (different toll prices here) so I just keep mine in my jacket pocket. I keep thinking maybe I should wrap it in a plastic bag (to keep it dry) and put it in the toolroll, but it doesn't actually bother me in my pocket so I haven't gotten round to it.

no one can pinch it when you carry it.

at least a thief won't have to break a window to get it.

The first thing I'm going to try is the jacket pocket since I never leave home without my jacket. Hopefully this way it won't grow legs and walk away plus a no cost solution.

Take the black all-weather transponder and two zip ties. you'll discover that it fits perfectly between the stock speedo and your handlebar risers, and is fairly inconspicuous there -- use zip ties on either end to secure to the triple trees.
