Please contact us before you buy a new Harley-Davidson® crankshaft assembly, as we can blueprint and remanufacture Harley-Davidson® crankshafts, very often for half of the cost of new. If the OEM crankshaft cannot be remanufactured, or you choose to increase the displacement, we can supply you with our Signature Series Man O-War crankshaft and/or assembled lower unit that will be the rock solid foundation
to your bottom line!

Pioneers of our Pro-Plug & Shifting Flywheels
Fielding questions about run-out and scissoring/shifting 1st things 1st, we are not aware of 1 of our flywheels that have shifted on the crankpin, truthfully, NOT 1! We have remanufactured well over 10,000 TwinCam crankshafts - That is our sole testament to the value of our engineered Pro-Plug system. It provides integrity to the crankshaft as a whole to resist spreading of the wheels 180 degrees from TDC and does NOT allow the wheels to shift, something welding alone or ANY 5 piece crankshaft can not provide.
View warranty info. All street version crankshafts and parts come with a 24-month, unlimited mileage warranty against manufacturer defect. Our craftsmanship is unparalleled in the motorcycle industry.
Engineered Rock Solid Foundation
Darkhorse Motor Company, long regarded as producing the strongest foundations for all Harley-Davidson® performance engines, released our Man O'War® crankshaft that allows you to put even more HP to the road without concerns associate with OEM crankshafts in performance motor builds
Darkhorse Motor Company is the "go to" facility for the high performance engine builders and Harley-Davidson dealer network in crankcase upgrades and repair. Our primary goal is to engineer crankcase upgrades to combat the motor company cost reduction directives. Shortly after the double flat-roller bearing motors were released in 2003, we engineered the system that would support the ever growing displacement and horsepower outputs from the new engine design. Our unique Milwaukee 8® & TwinCam® Timken bearing upgrade system is a cut above the competitions with our procedure to retain the right side bearing along with verifying main bearing bore alignment of < .001” in 1 placement in our CNC mills.
We are committed to building the strongest foundation for top engine builders and dealers across North America and around the world.
Our distributors and dealers ask us to build Darkhorse certified crankshaft assemblies. These crankshaft assemblies needed to meet our stringent tolerances and be balanced to our specifications. To fulfill this request, we formed alliances with top flywheel manufacturers across the USA who now supply us with components which we couple with our precision parts to create our Man O-War crankshafts. The end result is an affordable, top-of-the line crankshaft. We manufacture crankshafts that are truly unique. They are designed and built specifically for an intended application and customer. This value added service, provides you with a bottom end that will surely strengthen your bottom line. This is a product that will stand the test of time and torque.
