This device will work if you have inductance pickup loops for your steetlights. If I just confused someone it is simple. There is a cutout in the street that has a small wire buried in the pavement. You will notice typically a loop or a hexagon or octagon on the pavement. The metal in a vehicle will cause an inductance change which then triggers a timer and the light changes. Motorcycles typically do not have enough metal in them in order for the system to detect them. A strong magnet will do the trick on these systems.

If your traffic lights in your area are controlled by weight sensors or optical sensors then this device will not work for you. Most of the U.S. uses inductance loops for light changing.

It is also possible that the wire in the pavement could be cut thus rendering the light sensing system useless. Most municipalities want to know if a sensor is not working and if you report it they will check it out.

Hope this helps,

Nick

 

I just ordered one also. You should call 'em and tell 'em you want a commission. Thanks for the info.

 

One of my local Harley Dealers carry this exact product from the company. Might want to check around.

Thanks for the compliment on selling this product but if I can help a fellow biker it's worth it. Running red lights is not worth it - even though sometimes it is necessary.

 

I'll try the jiffy stand trick until some of you guys report back. I'm getting tired of looking around and blowing through the light...

 

I just use a magnet off of an old 3inch speaker and mounted on the crossmember with tie- wraps. And It works everytime!

 

Snake oil...they don't make a difference. 2 or 3 ounces are metal aren't going to make a difference on a 600lb or 900lb metal motorcycle. If all the metal in the bike don't trip the inductive loop, and extra 3 ounces aren't going to help. Every cycle magazine that's tested them says the same thing..... they're a waste of money.

 

Fellow rider,check your local laws here in wisconsin it changed october 2006,you can go thru a red lite after stopping for the red lite if its a trip lite....

 

the magazine is wrong. i have two of the older ones i a plastic box (all they are really is a magnet) and yes they work. I haven't had torun a light in a looong time .

 

That's what I thought. It's just a hunk of metal or a magnet, neatly covered with plastic for 20+ dollars. I'll try puttingmy jiffy stand on top of the strip.
