Have you ever been stuck at a RED light waiting for it to turn Green?

Here is my fix!

First you will need the right equipment for the install:

The craft magnets, pack of two, ran $1.49 and a pack of 10 zip tie mounts ran $1.99. Zip ties run $3.99 for a pack of 100.

Next you prep the magnets:

Now all you have to do now is find a place to mount them on your bike!
Here are a few pictures of where I mounted them on my ZX14 and my V-Star 1100.

I hope this helps!!!

You know Jason-that's quite a trick there-I NEVER would have thought of that!!!(seriously).I may just have to give er a go-maybe mount facing down under the collector there with a steel band?Great Job there!!!

Yes, Jason, I glued a broken magnet onto my side stand. We are going to test your little project; you come with the cutting edge ideas..... It better work or you will hear praise or never hear the end of it, you bling shit bang ideas the social science is I am done wit Ivan is start in on you.

I repair signal lights, save your money and time. Call your local traffic control dept tell your problem and location of the signal. Its most likely a detection issue that can be fixed very easy. (the detectors inside the cabinet sensitivity needs to be increase to detect bikes)

we'd be calling all the time around here! most lights in this town don't pickup bikes.

Normally I try not to be first at the signal-BUT-if I am,I generally pull up past the trigger,then wave the car behind me up till they're sitting over it.Most understand what's going on.OR-I'll sit right over it,and put my kickstand down.That seems to work okay.

Jeff I have one of those magnets attached to front the plastic, well C/F/ on mine, wing right in front of the rear tire. I know some folks will say it doesn't work. All I can tell you is it works VERY well for me. You just have to pay attention to where the line is for the trigger, and stop so the magnet is directly above it.

5 times, I sat a light that I could not change using just my steel side stand.

1. Once, I stabbed the magnet over the buried ring they use for turning lanes and as soon as I set the stand down, she changed lights for me to turn.

2. Car was behind me a second time and there are 3 buried rings deep in a row. So that car may have changed it where I was again, fiddling with the side stand and ring on the first one near the, 'limit line' you stop behind.

3. Again, I circled back to the same troubled light that does not change for me. Once again, a car came behind me and who knows how fast I was with the timing the stand and the person behind sitting over their buried ring?

4. Here I am again without anyone in lane with me. I stab the magnet down, Low and behold? Is this happening? The light turned green arrow to go on my end.

5. Last time, I am again, alone. I stab the magnet over the buried ring = She changed lights.

What I did not try was do nothing and sit there without a stab at the ring. I guess tomorrow will be another test round.

Sitting on the edge of your chair waiting, I know.

lol yes I am lol

I have two 1 inch diameter industrial strength magnets on my oil filter and oil pan drain bolt. They have NO affect on changing the lights here in central florida!
