The MCS Maltese Cross is a classic design that has been widely used in motorcycle customization for decades. However, it does not include license plate illumination, which may be required in some jurisdictions. We recommend checking your local traffic regulations before installation. The taillight provides functional brake and tail lighting with its 21/5W bulb.
The MCS Maltese Cross operates on a 12-volt system, making it compatible with the majority of modern and classic motorcycles including BMW K-series, cafe racers, and most custom builds. If your motorcycle runs a 6-volt electrical system, this taillight will not be suitable. Always verify your motorcycle's electrical system before purchasing.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the universal mounting holes on the rear side of the unit. The taillight can be mounted directly to your motorcycle's frame, seat post, or fender using appropriate fasteners (not included). Connect the wiring to your motorcycle's 12V brake and tail light circuits. We recommend consulting your motorcycle's service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about electrical connections.
The MCS Maltese Cross comes equipped with a 21/5W incandescent bulb, which is included. This is a standard dual-filament bulb (21W for tail light, 5W for brake light). Replacement bulbs are widely available at motorcycle shops and automotive suppliers. Simply unscrew or unclip the lens and replace the bulb. For a replacement lens, see product code 500234.
No, the MCS Maltese Cross does not include a separate license plate illumination function. It provides brake and tail lighting only. If you require license plate lighting for street use, you will need to install a separate license plate light fixture. This is typical for many classic and vintage-style taillights.
The MCS Maltese Cross features a die-cast chrome body that is built to last. To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean it with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. For added protection, apply a chrome polish or wax periodically. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that may scratch or damage the finish. Regular maintenance will keep your taillight looking pristine for years.
The MCS Maltese Cross has a universal design that makes it suitable for a wide variety of motorcycles, including classic BMWs, cafe racers, bobbers, choppers, and custom builds. The universal mounting holes on the rear allow flexible installation on different frame types and seat post configurations. It is especially popular among riders who appreciate vintage aesthetics and classic motorcycle styling.
