Steering Damper for Kawasaki ZX-6R: Vented Design
This steering damper is built for the Kawasaki ZX-6R and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the vented design programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: lead time that slipped twice before bulk started, or a supplier who changed material without saying so. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

What decides whether it lasts

- Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
- Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual Kawasaki ZX-6R mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — zinc plating holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
- Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.

Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.

Questions buyers ask
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
