Yes, the MCS Proton 2 turn signals are ECE approved, which means they meet all European safety standards and are legal for street use throughout Europe. ECE certification ensures they have been tested for light output, visibility, and durability.
The M8 x 18mm thread refers to the mounting stud diameter and length. These are universal signals with a threaded post that screws into your motorcycle frame or brackets. Simply align the signal where desired and tighten the M8 nut securely. Most café racers and classic bikes have compatible mounting points.
Yes, the Proton 2 signals are ECE approved for both front and rear use. This universal design makes them perfect for café racers and custom builds where you want consistent styling throughout your bike. Simply wire them to your turn signal circuit.
LED turn signals like the Proton 2 consume significantly less power than traditional halogen bulbs, typically 0.5-1 watt per signal. This makes them ideal for classic motorcycles with older electrical systems, as they put minimal strain on your battery and charging system.
Some motorcycles with older electrical systems may require load resistors (also called flasher relays) when switching to LED signals. This depends on your bike's wiring and flasher unit. If your turn signals flash too quickly, a resistor will solve this. Modern bikes typically don't need them, but check your specific motorcycle model.
The Proton 2 features a robust black metal body with a tinted polycarbonate lens. This combination is designed to withstand weather, vibration, and impacts common to motorcycle use. The tinted lens provides good visibility while maintaining the classic aesthetic many café racer and custom builders prefer.
ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) approval is the European standard, while DOT is the American standard. ECE-approved signals are legal in Europe, UK, and most other countries outside North America. DOT signals are required in the United States and Canada. The Proton 2 has ECE approval, making it perfect for European market motorcycles.
The amber color is simply the LED light output and does not depend on your bike's wiring. The Proton 2 is a 12V LED unit that works with standard 12V motorcycle electrical systems. As long as your bike runs on 12V (which most do), these signals will work. Connect them to your existing turn signal wiring following standard motorcycle electrical practices.
