Yes, these MCS Shorty LED turn signals are ECE-approved, meaning they meet European safety standards for road-legal use. However, always verify local regulations in your country, as some regions may have additional requirements for turn signal brightness, color, or mounting position.
These units feature a plastic body specifically designed for lamination or adhesive mounting directly into custom bodywork, fairings, or frames. For alternative mounting options and increased installation flexibility, MCS offers an optional steel housing (reference 922134) that enables different installation approaches depending on your custom build.
These are 12V LED units, so they are compatible with standard 12V motorcycle electrical systems. When replacing traditional incandescent signals with LEDs, you may need a load equalizer or resistor module to prevent fast blinking, as LEDs draw less power than incandescent bulbs. Always consult your motorcycle's electrical manual or a professional if you're unsure.
Absolutely. These ultra-compact shorty signals are perfectly suited for cafe racers, scramblers, and classic BMW builds where space is tight and clean aesthetics are important. Their small profile and smoke lens blend seamlessly with retro-inspired and modern custom designs. They're a popular choice among builders seeking that perfect blend of vintage style and contemporary lighting performance.
For glue-in installation, clean the mounting surface thoroughly to remove dust and oils. Use a strong plastic or polyurethane adhesive suitable for both plastic and your motorcycle's material (fiberglass, carbon, etc.). Apply adhesive evenly to the back of the unit, position it carefully, and allow it to cure per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. For lamination, follow the same surface preparation and work with your chosen laminate material.
The standard plastic version is ideal for direct lamination or gluing into bodywork. The optional steel housing (922134) provides a more robust frame for alternative mounting methods, such as bolt-on applications or integration into existing hardware mounts. Choose based on your installation approach and custom build requirements.
Basic wiring is straightforward—positive and negative connections to your motorcycle's existing turn signal circuit. However, as mentioned, integrating LEDs into a system designed for incandescent bulbs may require a load equalizer or resistor to prevent hyperblinking. Modern motorcycles with CAN-bus systems or integrated electronics may need compatibility modules. We recommend consulting your bike's manual or a qualified motorcycle electrician.
Yes, these MCS units are built to withstand outdoor conditions on a motorcycle. The plastic housing and LED technology are designed for durability. However, proper installation and sealing of wiring connections are essential to prevent water ingress. Ensure all electrical connections are properly insulated and protected from moisture, especially if you're gluing them into custom bodywork.
