In brief. On the Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L, the accessories that are genuinely useful are few and should be installed in this order: protection for the engine and radiator if you leave the pavement, a luggage system chosen for your version, ergonomics and controls (handguards, cruise control, tank bag) for long distances, and only then auxiliary lights and details.

The most important rule is the version: Africa Twin and Adventure Sports have different tanks, weights, and subframes, and many accessories are not interchangeable. Here you will find, for each category, the codes we sell, prices and availability verified today, and the compatibility limitations stated by the manufacturers.

Africa Twin and Adventure Sports do not fit the same accessories

Same engine, different bikes: the tank, weight, seat, and rear subframe differ, and so do their compatibility requirements.

Check the model code and year. From 2020 onward, the model code is CRF1100L; through 2019 it was CRF1000L, with different mounts for protection parts, auxiliary lights, and handguards. The data and prices in the table come from the InMoto 2026 price list (dealer prices). The complete comparison between versions is in the guide Honda Africa Twin: which version is the right choice.

Protect the bike first, then load it, then make it comfortable

The most common mistake is starting with panniers and auxiliary lights. The right order follows the risk: first what prevents damage, then what helps you travel, and finally what makes the day better.

  1. Protection. Crash bars, a skid plate, and a radiator guard if you ride off-road; a tip-over while stationary without crash bars can cost more than the rest of the setup combined.
  2. Luggage system. Frames and cases dedicated to your version, choosing between aluminum and semi-rigid options based on how much off-road riding you do.
  3. Ergonomics and controls. Handguards, cruise control, tank bag, and any risers and windshield: these are what you feel after 300 km.
  4. Navigation and power. A stable mount and a switched power outlet, without improvised wiring.
  5. Auxiliary lights. Useful for dawn departures, fog, and secondary roads, provided they have sturdy brackets and dedicated wiring.

Protection is the first purchase if the motorcycle leaves the asphalt

On the Africa Twin, the lower engine, radiators, levers, and headlight are the areas most exposed to rocks and low-speed falls.

What to protect and why

  • Sides and fairings: engine guards absorb a stationary fall and save the fairings, radiators, and levers. They must allow access for maintenance and not obstruct airflow to the radiators.
  • Lower engine: on rocky terrain and steps, you need a sturdy skid plate that covers the oil pan and headers, accepting a few extra kilos.
  • Hands and levers: handguards with an aluminum backbone protect levers and hands in falls and from branches. On the CRF1100L, they are installed with a model-specific kit.
  • Bodywork: protective and anti-slip tank films prevent scratches from boots and jacket zippers.
Honesty in the catalog. At the moment, Endurrad has no Africa Twin-specific engine guards or skid plates in stock, and the Barkbusters BHG-082 handguard kits for the CRF1100L (€141.50 aluminum, €152 black) are sold out. To choose the right engine guards, read the guide to engine guards for the Honda Africa Twin; for everything else, you can find updated availability in the Africa Twin CRF1100L accessories collection.

The frame determines the cases, and the frame depends on the version

Before choosing between aluminum and semi-rigid cases, check that the frame is specified for your Africa Twin: the rear subframes on the Africa Twin and Adventure Sports are not the same.

Aluminum if
  • you mainly tour and make long transfers
  • you want lockable cases with a regular shape
  • you travel as a couple with a lot of luggage
Semi-rigid if
  • you often alternate between asphalt and dirt roads
  • you want less rigidity in minor falls
  • you prefer a lighter system: the 40+30 L Wanderer cases fit the same JP322B frames
Standard Africa Twin. LOBOO specifies JP322B frames for the CRF1100L Adventure Sports from 2020 onward; the standard version has a different subframe and is not listed. If you have a standard Africa Twin, write to us before ordering: we will ask the distributor for confirmation. We have verified compatibility with the Wanderer semi-rigid cases based on the 18 mm tube required by LOBOO; the 40+30 L version is currently out of stock.

To choose between aluminum, semi-rigid cases, and soft bags, read the guide motorcycle luggage: aluminum or semi-rigid.

The top case and tank bag complete the load without raising the center of gravity too much

The top case loads high and toward the rear: convenient, but noticeable while riding. The tank bag keeps what you need during the leg within easy reach.

To be confirmed. Our product sheets give two different indications for mounting the JP322W plate: one says it requires the JP322B side frames, while the other says it attaches to the original luggage rack and is independent of the frames. Before ordering the plate alone, write to us: we will check with the distributor. The 36 L (from €342) and 45 L (from €387) PIKE TRACKER top cases are available.

Handguards, cruise control, and lights are the accessories you notice after 300 km

They do not protect the motorcycle or add liters, but they reduce fatigue and increase safety on long stages.

Frequently asked questions about Honda Africa Twin accessories

What are the first accessories to install on a Honda Africa Twin?
If you leave the asphalt, start with protection: crash bars, a skid plate, and hand guards. Then the luggage system for your version, followed by ergonomics and controls such as cruise control and a tank bag, and finally the auxiliary lights.
Are the Adventure Sports accessories suitable for the standard Africa Twin?
Not always. The two versions have different tanks, weights, and rear subframes. For example, the LOBOO JP322B pannier racks are listed for the CRF1100L Adventure Sports from 2020 onward, and the standard version is not mentioned: compatibility must be checked case by case.
What is the difference between the CRF1000L and CRF1100L for accessories?
The CRF1000L is the Africa Twin through 2019, while the CRF1100L is the model from 2020 onward. Mounting points and dimensions differ, so hand guards, auxiliary lights, films, and many protective accessories have different codes for the two generations.
Are aluminum or semi-rigid panniers better on the Africa Twin?
Aluminum is more practical for touring and two-up travel, while semi-rigid panniers are more suitable if you often ride off-road. The same LOBOO JP322B racks fit both the aluminum PIKE TRACKER 35+30 L and the semi-rigid Wanderer 40+30 L.
How much weight can be put in the panniers?
The LOBOO manual for the PIKE TRACKER series recommends not exceeding 10 kg per side pannier and 5 kg in the top case, due to vibrations while riding.
Why do the two panniers have different capacities?
The 30-liter right pannier is shaped to leave room for the exhaust, while the left remains 35 liters.
Is a side rack needed to mount the top case?
For the LOBOO JP322W plate, our product sheets contain conflicting information: one says it depends on the JP322B racks, while the other says it attaches to the original luggage rack. Before ordering the plate alone, write to us and we'll verify it with the distributor.
How do you fit a tank bag on the Africa Twin?
LOBOO ring-mounted bags require the €26 BTBZJ321 mounting ring, which is fitted to the tank and to which the bag attaches. Check compatibility with your bike's year with us.
Does cruise control work on the Africa Twin?
Some versions have electronic cruise control as standard: check yours. Alternatively, mechanical throttle stabilizers such as the KAOKO HND310 are available; it is listed for the CRF1100L, CRF1000L and X-ADV 750. It is currently sold out.
Which auxiliary lights should you fit to the Africa Twin CRF1100L?
Auxiliary lights with model-specific brackets and wiring, such as the DENALI kits for the Africa Twin 1100. The kit with a CANsmart control unit integrates with the motorcycle's electronics. They are currently sold out: you can find availability in the DENALI collection for the Africa Twin.
How much does the Africa Twin weigh, and how much does it change with accessories?
According to the 2026 price list, the Africa Twin weighs 231 kg in running order and the Adventure Sports weighs 243 kg. The two PIKE TRACKER panniers alone weigh 11.6 kg when empty, in addition to the racks, protection and load.
Does Endurrad sell engine guard bars for the Africa Twin?
At the moment, we have neither engine guard bars nor skid plates specifically for the Africa Twin in stock. Our Africa Twin engine guard guide explains how to choose the right ones.
