I was at a HD dealer and they had a little display box at the counter with a $20 light changer which really was a powerful magnet mounted on plastic with double sided tape to stick to the bottom of your bike."guarenteed to work". Since the lights are controlled by sensors under the pavement. so anyone know if they really do work, also is there anywhere you woulnt want to mount it on the bike because of the magnet? | ||

Try putting your kickstand down on the sensor wire, save your money. I've got a buddy who got one, and said it was about as effective as the kickstand trick. YMMV.  (Message edited by pwnzor on September 04, 2006) | ||

I bought one. It doesn't seem to work too well. | ||

You may want to see if you can get Court to chime in on this one. I remember that a while back he posted info about how these vehicle sensors worked, and it had to do with detection of mass -- magnetism had nothing to do with it, and the the "light changers" are basically worthless. Save the money for gasoline. AL ps - I found it helpful when encountering a light sensor on the bike to position the bike over one side or the other of the sensor area so that the bike is over as much of it as possible. This works MOST of the time, when it doesn't you have to just balance the factors of patience, traffic conditions, police presence, etc. before you go "F--- it!" and just GO! |
