The MCS Beehive is a reproduction of a vintage 1939-1946 design and does not carry modern certifications (ECE, DOT, or E-mark). Its legality depends on local regulations and whether it's used on a registered street motorcycle or as a show/custom bike. Always verify with your local traffic authorities before installation on a street-legal motorcycle.
The MCS Beehive taillight is a direct replacement for original Harley-Davidson reference numbers 68002-39T and 5052-39. These references help ensure authentic fitment and specifications for vintage H-D motorcycles from the 1939-1946 era.
Yes. While designed as an original replacement for 1939-1946 H-D motorcycles, the Beehive taillight is also suitable for custom motorcycle applications. Its classic profile makes it ideal for cafe racers, bobbers, and retro-styled custom builds. Ensure proper wiring and mounting on your specific motorcycle.
The MCS Beehive taillight is constructed from die-cast aluminum, a durable material that provides strength and longevity while maintaining the authentic vintage appearance. The black finish protects the aluminum and complements the classic design aesthetic.
The Beehive taillight is compatible with 1939-1946 H-D motorcycles and custom applications where this classic profile is desired. Its vintage styling makes it perfect for cafe racer builds. However, fitment depends on your specific motorcycle frame and wiring setup. Measure your current taillight mount point and verify clearances before purchase.
The Beehive taillight is a mechanical replacement that requires proper electrical connection to function. Standard motorcycle 12V wiring applies. Because this is a vintage reproduction, installation complexity may vary depending on your motorcycle's current electrical system. We recommend consulting a qualified technician if you're unfamiliar with motorcycle electrical work.
The black finish is purely aesthetic and matches the classic Harley-Davidson styling of the era. The taillight's function depends on the internal lens and bulb, not the exterior finish. Ensure the lens is clean and the bulb is properly functioning for optimal visibility to following traffic.
