Gasket Kit for Honda Africa Twin: Long Life Version

Gasket Kit for Honda Africa Twin: Long Life Version

This gasket kit is built for the Honda Africa Twin 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 long life version programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.

Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: premature wear on the first batch, 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.

Specification

What decides whether it lasts

• Material — Carbon Fibre Composite is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
• Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
• Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual Honda Africa Twin mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
• Finish — anodising holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
• Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.

Processes used on this line

• heat treatment
• precision stamping
• sintering
• powder coating
• rubber vulcanisation
• surface grinding

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.

Where it is used

The long life version build is the one most often ordered for off-road trails. Riders also fit it for rural transport, adventure travel, urban courier work, mining sites.

Ordering

1. Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
2. Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
3. Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
4. Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.

Questions buyers ask

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 testing is included?

Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO/TS 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The standard MOQ is 3000 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 ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.

Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
