Replacement Windshields Specification Example for Off-Road Bikes: Folding Type
Replacement Windshields Specification Example for Off-Road Bikes: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for replacement windshields in a folding type programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The folding type version exists because the duty cycle on off-road bikes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.
Example specification
| Item | Replacement Windshields |
|---|---|
| Application | Off-Road Bikes |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Cast Iron |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | REACH |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Cast Iron, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- shot blasting
- CNC machining
- injection moulding
- laser cutting
- robot welding
- assembly line testing
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for off-road bikes. Related applications include emergency vehicles, scooter fleets, off-road bikes, workshop replacements, agricultural trailers.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the REACH-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
