The taillight gasket creates a waterproof seal between your taillight body and the rear fender. It prevents moisture, dirt, and water from entering the mounting area, protecting your electrical connections from corrosion and ensuring reliable taillight operation.
Yes, this MCS gasket is designed for 1947-1954 Harley-Davidson motorcycles equipped with Tombstone taillights. If your bike falls within this year range and has the Tombstone-style taillight, this gasket will fit correctly.
Under normal conditions, a quality rubber gasket can last several years. However, you should replace it whenever you remove or service your taillight, or if you notice signs of cracking, hardening, or deterioration. Regular inspection during routine maintenance is recommended.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) references like 68123-47 and 5056-47 are the factory part numbers from Harley-Davidson. This means the MCS gasket is a direct replacement for the original part, ensuring proper fit and function without any modifications needed.
It's not recommended. Rubber gaskets deteriorate over time even if they appear intact. Reusing an old gasket risks compromising the waterproof seal, potentially allowing moisture to damage your electrical components. Installing a fresh gasket is an inexpensive way to ensure long-term reliability.
The MCS gasket is constructed from durable rubber compound specifically formulated to withstand motorcycle operating conditions. This material provides excellent sealing properties while maintaining flexibility to accommodate vibration and temperature fluctuations without cracking.
No special tools are required. Simply remove your taillight assembly from the fender, clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly, place the new gasket in position, and reinstall the taillight. A gasket scraper may be helpful for removing old gasket material, but is not essential.
