Red light changers
Does anyone out there have experience with the devices that change stubborn red lights? This rockster does not seem to have enough metal to trip some of my local signal lights, forcing me to "run" them 
from time to time.
from time to time.
I've tried the "Signal Sorcerer" and also tried mounting a huge magnet from a hardware store under the bike. Neither one worked very well. I've had some success putting the sidestand down right on top of the line cut in the pavement at some lights. Problem is, they've re-paved lots of the roads around my house and now I can't see those lines anymore. Thankfully, Tennessee passed a law that allows motorcycles to legally run redlights if they are unable top trip the sensors.
Good luck.

I've never had trouble here in MD.
One trick I read in Proficient Motorcycling is to stop your motorcycle over an intersection of as many of the pavement cuts (for the sensor loop) as possible. I've found that parking my front wheel on an intersection and my bike over the rest of the line the sensor reads me as being a vehicle. I rarely have to run a light.

Signal Sorcerer
The Signal Sorcerer is a waste of good money. All it is is a magnet and a small one at that. I have yet found a signal that enables the turn light at any intersection.
