About This Product
This MCS brush holder is a high-quality, OEM-style replacement designed for Prestolite starter motors. It is a direct fit for 1967-1980 XL Sportster models, late 1966-1982 FL models, 1980-1983 FLT Touring bikes, and 1982 to early 1983 FXR models. Replacing a worn brush holder is a critical part of a starter rebuild to ensure reliable cranking every time you hit the button. This kit corresponds to OEM number 31541-66 and provides the structural support needed for the starter brushes to function correctly. It is an essential component for maintaining the electrical health of your vintage Harley-Davidson.
Manufacturer part number: 501255.
