Saddle Bag for TVS Apache RTR 160: Standard Replacement
This saddle bag is built for the TVS Apache RTR 160 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 standard replacement 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 a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. 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 — Magnesium 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 TVS Apache RTR 160 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — a sealed surface treatment 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
- assembly line testing
- shot blasting
- CNC machining
- anodising
- surface grinding
- heat treatment
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.
Where it is used
The standard replacement build is the one most often ordered for airport ground fleets. Riders also fit it for off-road trails, rural transport, passenger transport, daily commuting.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
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.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
