In brief. On the Husqvarna Norden 901, Wanderer semi-rigid cases are mounted on the LOBOO JP901B side frames in the 40 + 30 liter configuration. The original Husqvarna frames are not compatible: the Wanderer cases attach only to frames with 18 mm tubing and the LOBOO drilling pattern.
The case set does not include the frames, which are sold separately.
What is needed for the Norden 901
| Component | Code | Product sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Wanderer semi-rigid cases, 40 + 30 L, with two 20 L waterproof bags | BCB4030TBK | Wanderer |
| LOBOO side frames for Husqvarna Norden 901, no-drilling installation | JP901B | JP901B frames |
Why 40 + 30 and the P35 template
The JP901B frames are asymmetrical: the left side is sized for a 35-liter PIKE TRACKER case, while the right, exhaust side is sized for a 30-liter case. On the Wanderer cases, this asymmetry becomes a 40 + 30 configuration: the narrower case goes on the right.
The Wanderer mounting plate comes factory-drilled for PIKE TRACKER P45 frames. For the P35 series, the mounting points must be moved to the template with a 318 × 204 mm hole spacing, already marked on the plate: this only needs to be done once.
Installation in brief
- Install the JP901B frames according to their manual.
- On the case, move the plate mounting points to the PIKE TRACKER P35 drilling template and tighten the screws to 8 N·m using the included hex key.
- Close the roll-top by rolling it twice and fasten the top buckle.
- Attach the case to the frame and close the side lock.
All steps, with illustrated drilling templates, are in the installation guide for semi-rigid motorcycle cases.

Soft-sided or aluminum cases for the Norden 901
The PIKE TRACKER 35 + 30-liter aluminum cases can also be mounted on the same JP901B frames: you can find them in the PIKE TRACKER kit for the Husqvarna Norden 901, with the frames included. Aluminum provides better protection against impacts and break-ins; the Wanderer cases weigh less, detach by hand like a bag, and include the dry bags.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Wanderer cases be mounted on the original Husqvarna frames?
No. The Wanderer cases can only be mounted on side frames with 18 mm tubing and the LOBOO drilling pattern. The Norden 901 requires LOBOO JP901B frames.
Does the Norden 901 use the 40 + 30 or the 40 + 40?
The 40 + 30. The JP901B frames are asymmetrical: the 30-liter case goes on the right side, the exhaust side.
Does the case plate need to be modified?
You need to move the mounting points according to the PIKE TRACKER P35 template, which is already provided on the plate, and tighten the screws to 8 N·m. This only needs to be done once, using the included hex key.
Are the frames included in the case set?
No, the Wanderer set includes two cases and two 20 L dry bags. The JP901B frames are sold separately.
Are they waterproof?
The manufacturer declares an IPX6 rating: they withstand heavy rain and water jets, but not immersion. Water resistance also depends on the roll-top, which must be rolled twice.
