Like Speedkingnick has said, it is not the metal that trips the light, it is the magnetic field that the magnet produces that induces the current into the wire to trip the light. If it doesn't trip a light then that light is not triped in this fasion. It is science not snake oil, and it dose work. The side stand tip seems dangerious to me. What if someone comes up behind you while the side stand is down?[X(]

RE: Street light signal changer for motorcycle?
Guys I'll tell you what I did yesterday.. I took an old factory speaker that out of my daughter's RAV4 (She upgraded her stereo)and I went to the left turn light near my house that always gives me trouble.
So I pressed the walk button and went to the median and stood there and watched traffic pass by. The signal was functioning properly. At the first opportunity (no cars making a left) I set the speaker on the asphalt. I got the signal
Not only did I get the signal but it stayed on for a long time as I left it out there.
Next test, I set it again, arrow on, I picked up the speaker, the light turned yellow then red.
I'm convinced!!

Thanks guys. You talked me into another 20 buck purchase. But actually, one of the cheapest things I bought for the Deuce.

I got my Signal Sorcerer G-4 in and installed it today. I will wait until Sunday morning to test it on the 2 lights that didn't change, because they didn't detectmy bike. They are very busy intersections, so I don't want to have to run the lights again if this gizmo doesn't work. The odds are also kind of slim that I would be the first at the light during the week, hopefully on Sun. morning the traffic will be way down and I will be able to test this setup a few times and report back.

I ordered the SS-1 online and got it in 2 or 3 days later. It works for the lights in my area that didn't trip before. Good enough for me.
If you put the side stand down and some psycho comes flying up behind you, you willprobably not be able to accelerate out of his way as quickly to avoid getting rear-ended.

When I approach a stoplight I look for the big box in the pavement and line upmy bikeover one side or the other. When I stop my scoot, it is with the front tire on the far corner andthe bike over the seam in the pavement.
Using this technique I have had no problems and itworks for me every time...
