• Is this headlamp street legal and DOT/ECE approved?

  Yes, the MCS Roadster headlamp features an ECE-approved lens and comes with an H4 12V 60/55W bulb, making it street-legal in most European countries. The ECE certification ensures it meets international safety standards for motorcycle lighting.

• What mounting system does this headlamp use?

  This headlamp features a side-mount configuration, which means the bracket attaches to the side of your motorcycle frame rather than mounting from above. This design is typical for vintage and custom builds and provides flexibility in installation positioning.

• Is the headlamp compatible with my BMW classic motorcycle?

  The MCS Roadster is widely compatible with BMW classic motorcycles and other custom builds. However, compatibility depends on your specific model and frame design. We recommend checking the mounting bracket against your frame or contacting our team for fitment verification before purchasing.

• What bulb type does it use and can I upgrade to LED?

  The MCS Roadster comes with an H4 12V 60/55W halogen bulb. While the headlamp housing is designed for H4 bulbs, some builders use H4 LED conversion bulbs for improved brightness and lower power consumption. Ensure any alternative bulb is ECE-approved and maintains proper beam pattern.

• Does it include the position light and what does it do?

  Yes, the MCS Roadster includes an integrated position light. This provides low-intensity illumination for parking and visibility during daytime or low-light conditions, ensuring other road users can see your motorcycle even when the main headlight is not at full brightness.

• What is the advantage of the matte black finish?

  The matte black steel finish provides a classic, understated aesthetic that suits vintage and custom motorcycle builds perfectly. It resists glare and reflections better than chrome, offers excellent durability against corrosion, and is easy to maintain. The finish complements both traditional and modern cafe racer designs.

• What is the headlamp diameter and how does it fit my frame?

  The MCS Roadster is a 5-3/4" round headlamp, a standard size for classic motorcycles and custom builds. The side-mount bracket allows for angled positioning depending on your frame geometry. We recommend verifying clearance with your specific frame and suspension components before installation.

• How do I maintain and clean this headlamp?

  Clean the lens regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain clarity. The matte black housing can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Inspect the bulb and wiring periodically for damage. If the lens becomes cloudy over time, gently polish with appropriate automotive polish. Store spare H4 bulbs for quick replacements.
