Yes, the Texas taillight's universal swivel mount bracket and compact dimensions (55mm body diameter) make it compatible with most classic and custom motorcycles, including BMW K-series bikes. However, we recommend checking your specific motorcycle's mounting points before purchase. If you need guidance on fitment for your particular model, contact our sales team.
ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) certification means the taillight meets European road safety standards and is legal for street use in Europe and many other countries. This certification ensures the light output, color, and lens quality meet rigorous requirements for road safety. Using an ECE-approved taillight protects you legally and ensures other road users see your brake lights clearly.
The MCS Texas comes complete with a 21/5W incandescent bulb and full wiring harness, so you have everything needed for installation right out of the box. No additional electrical components are required — simply mount it to your frame and connect the wiring to your motorcycle's electrical system.
The 21/5W bulb is a dual-filament design: the 5W filament functions as a constant running light (position light), while the 21W filament activates when you apply the brakes, making the light significantly brighter to alert following traffic. This is a standard configuration on European motorcycles and complies with ECE safety regulations.
While LED replacements are available, we recommend verifying compatibility with your motorcycle's electrical system first. Some bikes with older voltage regulators may experience issues with LED bulbs. If you prefer LED technology for longevity and power efficiency, contact us to ensure a proper replacement that won't cause electrical problems.
The swivel bracket is adjustable, allowing you to position the taillight at the optimal angle for your build. Drill mounting holes on your frame or existing bracket that align with the bracket holes, secure with bolts or rivets, then adjust the swivel joint to achieve the desired light angle. The bracket accommodates frame tubing of various thicknesses — test-fit first to ensure proper alignment before final installation.
The MCS Texas has a lens diameter of 45mm, body diameter of 55mm, and body depth of 85mm. These compact dimensions make it suitable for most custom and classic motorcycle frames. However, fitment depends on your specific frame design and available mounting space. We recommend measuring your available space and comparing it with these dimensions, or contacting us with your frame photos for confirmation.
The MCS Texas is a low-maintenance component. A standard 21/5W incandescent bulb typically lasts 500-1,000 hours of use. We recommend checking the lens periodically for dirt or moisture and cleaning it to maintain optimal light output. The chrome housing should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth to prevent oxidation and maintain its appearance. Replacement bulbs are inexpensive and widely available.
