Man O-War CrankShafts
Rock Solid Foundation
Darkhorse Crankworks, long regarded as producing the strongest foundations for all Twin Cam® performance engines, released our Man O-War® crankshaft that allows dealers & performance engine builders to put even more HP to the road without concerns associate with OEM crankshafts in performance motor builds
Premium Built to Order Crankshafts
Darkhorse Crankworks has always manufactured and sourced the absolute best products available for building or re-manufacturing Harley-Davidson® crankshafts. Continuing in that tradition is the
Man O' War, 4"-3/8" and 4'-5/8" stroke Alpha or B-model configurations that are truly a "custom built" crankshaft with a 5-8 business day lead time.
We build with a true bottom up approach; where we focus strictly on the foundation to all engine builds. We can utilize engineered balance factors from our vast library of engine dynamics while being able to install a wide variety of components and connecting rods that dealers can not get from any distributor 'off the shelf'. This is the primary reason our dealers rely on only Darkhorse Crankworks to be the cornerstone to all their lower end engine builds for 40+ years.
Lead Time
Our current lead times vary for custom built Man O'War crankshafts in house, please call for the current lead time. Please download or print our "New Flywheel Order" form off website & email and we will take it from there or simply call our Technical Sales Rep Andrew and he will walk you through the process!
John, just wanted to thank you and your crew at Darkhorse for building and assembling my twin cam lower end, it's extremely smooth and feels snappy and quicker revving than before! Your professional work and attitude are greatly appreciated! Rob Dueker, Chatsworth, CA

Man O-War MOTORSPROCKETS
Man O-War Motorsprocket system by DarkHorse
This motorsprocket is the 1st performance engineered
primary motor sprocket on the market that provides
"instant torque response" combined with an
“engine pulse absorbing cushion drive” primary system for
Harley-Davidson TwinCam® and Milwaukee 8® models.
Engineered to withstand the test of Time and Torque
Through extensive model design & testing, the Man O-War Motorsprocket is the only product on the market today that is engineered for longevity compared to OEM compensating sprockets without sacrificing rider comfort. This patented system also puts an emphasis on rider comfort compared to the noise and harsh feeling under loads associated with 1 piece solid motor sprockets.
These premium features combined with being inexpensive to service versus expensive compensator based sprockets that fail and need to be replaced as an entire unit. The Man O-War will be the last motorsprocket you will need to buy for your
Harley-Davidson TwinCam® or M8® model.
Balanced & Bulletproof
All these benefits combined with being a billet machined, balanced motorsprocket that weighs nearly 2 pounds less than the OEM compensator and ½ the amount of parts, you do not have to look any further to increasing your “trouble free” miles on your Harley-Davidson TwinCam® or Milwaukee 8® motorcycle.
**Disclaimer: Due to "Factory starting phase assignment" you may experience starting issues combining the Man O-War Motorsprocket with "easy start cams" The ECM looks for crankshaft "deceleration" to determine phase for F & R cylinder timing assignments. Please be aware that we do not recommend using both of these products together as it may very well lead to starting issues.
Replacing cushions costs considerably less, estimated at under 1 hour labor with proper tooling and our certified 8 piece cushion kit is currently priced at $39.95 + tax & shipping.
12 Month Limited Warranty

*Master rebuild kits including drive sprocket inner bushing will require the unit to be sent in for service. 8 piece Cushion kits are available from our dealer network or at our Man O-War Motorproducts store.

"I think it is F'n AWESOME, instantly feels like more power and torque even though I know there isn't any! Grabbing rubber in 4 gears, it is smooth as silk at takeoff and downshifting. Almost like I got a new M8 with just a motorsprocket!" Chris Waddell, Cycle Solutions, Fort Meyers Beach, FL.
