Yes, the MCS Shorty LED taillight is ECE approved, which means it meets European road safety standards and is street legal across EU member states. Always verify local regulations in your specific country before installation.
The Shorty LED taillight can be mounted by laminating or gluing it directly into your custom bodywork, fender, or seat. For additional mounting security, especially on vibrating surfaces, consider the optional steel weld-in housing (ref. 922134) which provides a more permanent installation solution.
Absolutely. MCS offers matching Shorty turn signals in both clear and smoke lens finishes (ref. 943261 and 943262). This allows you to create a cohesive lighting package that maintains visual consistency across your custom motorcycle build.
No, the MCS Shorty LED taillight does not include license plate illumination. You will need to install a separate license plate light to comply with traffic regulations. Consider this when planning your electrical layout.
The MCS Shorty measures approximately 40mm wide x 8mm high x 13mm deep, making it significantly smaller than conventional motorcycle taillights. This ultra-compact profile is ideal for minimalist cafe racer builds, bobbers, and custom projects where space is limited or aesthetics demand a subtle lighting solution.
Yes, LED technology offers several advantages over incandescent bulbs: superior brightness with lower power consumption, significantly longer lifespan (50,000+ hours), greater vibration resistance, instant illumination, and improved reliability in harsh riding conditions. LEDs are the modern standard for custom motorcycle lighting.
The MCS Shorty LED taillight's compact, universal design makes it compatible with most custom motorcycle projects, including cafe racers, bobbers, and classic motorcycles like BMW models. However, you'll need to ensure proper electrical integration with your motorcycle's wiring system and that local regulations permit the installation method you choose.
For gluing, use a high-quality motorcycle-grade adhesive or epoxy resin that can withstand vibration and temperature fluctuations. For lamination, consider fiber-reinforcing resins or automotive epoxy compounds. Always clean surfaces thoroughly before application and allow proper curing time. For maximum durability, the optional weld-in housing provides a more permanent mechanical solution.
