• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Would Red LIght Tripper affect Spider Electronics?

A friend of mine who rides to work thru a lot of lights wants to try one. Only question I'd have is whether it might affect Nanny or her siblings?
 
I hope you boys arn't the same ones that think those Deer whistlers work ??? :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

The Green Light HP units work well. One light that I would always get caught at now works quite well. It's not 100% -- but before I would hit the light and it would only change like 3 out of 10 times for me.... now it's like 8-9 times out of 10. It was a lead left on my way to work...used to have to run it all the time because it wouldn't trigger.

I used to do the same thing all the time.... It did help to be in a fire truck...:ohyea:
 
Worth buying?

So, do you guys think it's worth picking one of these light trippers up? I've seen them on eBay for <$15.
 
There was a guy in Carlsbad, CA, this week who got arrested for using an electronic version of this (only legally used on firetrucks and ambulances), and was fined $2000.

They were able to track him after noticing an annomoly in the timing of the signals. Just a heads up to be careful of what kind of tripper you're purchasing.
 

Just something I found when looking at the red light changers:



Q: Wouldn't one of those heavy-pull magnet assemblies work better?
A: Actually no. Lifting assemblies are made by enclosing a magnet in a frame of steel plate. The magnetic field tends to stay inside the plate rather than spreading out into the surrounding space. The result is a high field density between the assembly's poles but very little elsewhere, so you get a strong magnetic pull, but only up close. The flux isolation base of the Green Light™ Trigger is designed to hold the Trigger magnet away from your bike's frame, preventing that kind of field collapse.
Q: Is that why the Trigger doesn't hang on to the frame as strongly as a bare magnet would?
A: Yes. We don't allow it to close-couple to the bike's frame, so it doesn't waste its field on sticking to the bike. That way it can be more effective on the signal loops.

Totally different thing. These Green Light Triggers only help make the presence of your motorcycle known to the sensors in the ground... so you don't get stuck by a turn signal not thinking there is a vehicle there.
