Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace the crankpin at the same time? A: Yes, the crankpin and big-end bearing should be inspected and usually replaced together with the rod for a reliable bottom end. Reusing a worn crankpin can cause rapid rod failure.

Q: Is this an OEM Honda part? A: No, this is an aftermarket connecting rod kit made to fit Honda NX 500 Dominator applications. It is not produced or supplied by Honda.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
