The taillight gasket creates a watertight seal between the taillight body and the license plate light lens. This prevents moisture and water from entering the electrical assembly, which can cause corrosion, oxidation, and electrical failures. It's essential for maintaining proper lighting function and passing safety inspections.
Yes, this gasket is designed for all H-D models from 1955-1972. If your motorcycle falls within this range, it will fit perfectly. Always verify your specific model year and engine type (NU designation) before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Installation is straightforward: remove the taillight assembly from your motorcycle, carefully separate the taillight body from the license plate light lens, remove the old gasket, and place the new James Gaskets ring between the two components. Ensure it sits evenly before reassembling. No special tools are required.
The OEM reference number for this gasket is 68121-55. This is the original manufacturer's part number, which ensures you're getting an authentic, correctly-engineered replacement that meets Harley-Davidson specifications. Using OEM references guarantees proper fitment and reliability.
A quality gasket like this James Gaskets product can last many years if properly installed and maintained. However, gaskets can deteriorate due to UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and age. If you notice moisture in your taillight or corrosion around the lens, it's time to replace the gasket.
It's not recommended to reuse the old gasket. Once removed and reinstalled, gasket material can become compressed, cracked, or warped, compromising its sealing ability. For optimal waterproofing and reliability, always install a fresh gasket when servicing your taillight assembly.
