Believe it or not, I found a solution to the light sensor problem !
I purchased a pair of Buzzing magnets. (toss them in the air, and they make an annoying buzzing sound as they bounce together on the way down.) (Just keep them out of the hands of twelve -year-old boys.) I placed them into a plastic cigar tube (Cuesta Rey) and zip tied them onto the center sand under the bike. When I come to a traffic light, I have only to stop momentarily, wait for the traffic to clear, and procede on my way. It is no credit to the magnet gizmo, but rather to the Tennessee legislature
they have written into the law a provision to allow Motorcycles to "run red lights" provided they don't cause a traffic hazard.
