Yes, this MCS springer headlamp assembly is designed for H-D models from 1936 to 1954 equipped with Springer forks. It will fit your 1948 Panhead if it has Springer front suspension. If your bike has been converted to a different fork type, compatibility may be affected.
The 6-volt specification indicates this headlamp is designed for early Harley-Davidson bikes that originally ran 6V electrical systems. Make sure your motorcycle's battery and charging system are also 6V before installation. Do not install on a 12V system without proper conversion components.
This is a reproduction part without ECE certification. While it is designed for restoration purposes, it does not have official road approval. Before using your motorcycle on public roads, verify your local traffic regulations, as some regions require certified lighting components for legal street use.
Installation typically involves removing your existing headlamp, disconnecting the electrical harness, and mounting the new assembly using the existing bracket holes on your Springer fork tubes. Consult your specific motorcycle's service manual for detailed steps, as mounting configurations can vary. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with electrical work.
This MCS reproduction is built to match the original OEM specification (4901-35) in appearance and function, making it ideal for restoration work. However, reproductions may have minor variations in manufacturing tolerances or materials compared to genuine vintage originals. Both are designed for the same fitment and electrical compatibility.
This 6-volt headlamp assembly accepts standard 6V bulbs designed for vintage Harley-Davidson applications. Common bulb types include 6V 25/25W or similar incandescent bulbs. When replacing the bulb, ensure it matches the 6V specification to prevent electrical damage. Consult your build documentation or contact our support team for the exact bulb part number.
This headlamp is specifically designed for 1936-1954 Harley-Davidson models with Springer forks. Modern Harley-Davidson Springer models use 12V electrical systems and may have different bracket mounting points. Installation on newer bikes without modification is not recommended. Always verify fitment and electrical compatibility before purchase.
The MCS springer headlamp features a black finish designed for durability in outdoor conditions. However, like all vintage-style components, regular maintenance including cleaning and protective waxing is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent corrosion over time.
