Default RE: light trigger

My wife's bike had one on it when we purchased it.&nbsp\\; Hard to say for sure, but it really seems like we haven't been missed by a light when I ride with her.&nbsp\\; The previous owner mounted it in a place that is a little inconvenient for using the lift, but I've left it on so that must mean I think it works.

I have also been touching the kickstand to the pavement when stopping (as suggested on the forum) and making sure to park within the sensor area.

Which trigger did you buy?

I have had one on my Fat Boy for 2 years. There are still lights that don't detect me.
