Not a new idea; I've always thought that the idea was a bit of voodoo. This is first video evidence/demonstration by a non-vendor. I hope some engineer on the forum will offer an opinion. Thanks for the link.

 

I believe the larger Harleys will trip the lights.Mine seem to.

 

Ok,
First off would it work? pending on mounted location it could. But I don't want to keep tryingto check if its there and being in around pill box youwould need to make sure it doesn't fall off as your contact area is small if laid sideways and could roll off. What Ido is use my kick stand.... when I aproach the loops I setup so I can drop it over the coils imbeded in the ground for a sec then it will trip the light.This only works if the loop is at the stop line. Here in Sugar Land there is actually one light that they put new loops in far away from the stop line. So i try to ride over the the parallelline to get it to trip if there is no car infront of me. seems to work so far.

 

I stop with my front tire on the front of the loop and my left floor board over the left side of the loop. It works every time.

 

I guess the magnet is easier then what I do..... I park my bike and run over and push the pedestrian button.........[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

I had one of these when I had my first sporty. I have a left turn signal near my house that never worked until after I mounted this magnet. since I've had the EG I've not had any problems with light signals. I think the sensitivity picks up the larger bikes.

I wait until either a car pulls up behind me and trips the light, or there's no traffic coming and I just run the damn light.

 

Putting down your kickstand, put the weight of the bike on it, then lift it back up. Works ever time for stubborn lights.

ROFLMO I never thought of that one. Thanks!
