Steering Stem for Honda ADV160: Racing Spec
This steering stem is built for the Honda ADV160 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 racing spec programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: packing that arrived crushed at the port, 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 — Cast Iron 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 ADV160 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — powder coating 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

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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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 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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
