Crash Bar for Honda Africa Twin: Long Life Version
This crash bar 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: documentation that arrived after the container shipped, or packing that arrived crushed at the port. 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 — Titanium Alloy 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
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- precision stamping
- electroplating
- injection moulding
- rubber vulcanisation
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.

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 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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the CCC-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
