Crankshaft Assembly for Honda Africa Twin: Long Life Version
This crankshaft assembly 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: a supplier who changed material without saying so, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. 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
- Material — Zinc Plated Steel 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
- powder coating
- robot welding
- die casting
- electroplating
- anodising
- CNC machining
Fitment notes
Check whether the mounting points on your market version match the catalogue drawing — regional variants are the usual cause of a wrong first order.

Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.

Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. DOT documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
