Do you need new screws?

No, the two original screws per side that hold the standard panel are reused. The manual refers to them as OEM screws, which is why they are not included in the package.

How tight should the screws be?

3 N·m, the value specified in the manual. It is a low torque and must be respected: tightening is performed on a composite panel, not on a steel bracket. The manual recommends positioning first and tightening in sequence only at the end.

How long does it take to assemble them?

The manual describes eight steps, four per side, all visible and without removing any fairings. You only need the wrench for the two screws and the included wipe to clean the surface before applying the stickers.

Is the glossy finish better, or the matte one?

It depends on the effect you're looking for: the glossy finish reflects light and highlights the texture, while the matte finish is more understated and blends better with dark liveries. Technically, they're identical; only the appearance differs, along with the fact that the glossy finish shows dust and fingerprints more easily.

Are they the same thing as the radiator grille?

No, they are two different products. These are the aesthetic side covers that replace the decorative panels; the radiator grille is the mesh that protects the radiator core from gravel and debris. They cover different areas and both can be installed.

Do they protect the radiator from stones?

That is not their function. They replace a decorative panel and cover the same area as the original: if you are looking for protection for the radiator core, you need the radiator grille, which is a separate item.

How do you clean them?

With water and mild detergent. Avoid solvents and abrasive products, which dull the carbon finish, and do not use a pressure washer too close to the edges of the decals.

Can I switch back to the original panels?

Yes, just reinstall the stock ones using the same screws. Keep them if you think you might resell the motorcycle in its original configuration: the modification leaves no marks on the motorcycle.

Dal produttore LOBOO

Original LOBOO product, a brand specializing in adventure and touring motorcycle accessories. Official manufacturer documentation available upon request.

Leggi la descrizione completa

On the sides of the R 1300 GS, next to the radiator, there are two decorative plastic panels with the GS logo. The LOBOO CSB131 covers replace them with two pieces made of real carbon fiber: the same mounting points, the same original screws, a different front design, and about half the weight.

Why choose the LOBOO CSB131 radiator covers

180 g per pair versus the original 350 g. The manufacturer states a direct comparison with the stock panels: about 170 g less, just under half the weight.
Real carbon fiber, not a carbon-look finish. The weave is the material itself, not a printed film: it is visible up close and does not peel off.
GS logo stickers in four colors included. The package contains four shaped stickers per side, in white, light blue, orange, and yellow. Choose the color that matches your bike, or leave the carbon bare.
Dual finish. Glossy for a more pronounced effect, matte for a more understated result.
Holes made using the vehicle's original data. LOBOO states that the panels were modeled using the bike's data: the holes align with the stock mounting points, with no drilling required.

Main features

Pair of side radiator covers, left and right
Carbon fiber, with a choice of glossy or matte finish
Approximately 180 g per pair
Replace the original decorative panels while reusing the stock screws
Eight GS logo stickers included, in four colors per side
Two cleaning wipes included for surface preparation

Installation

The LOBOO manual describes eight steps, four per side. Unscrew the two original screws securing the stock decorative panel and remove it. Clean the exposed surface with the included isopropyl alcohol wipe. Apply the stickers in the indicated area, position the carbon cover, and reinstall the original screws, tightening them to 3 N·m.

The manual recommends not fully tightening the screws immediately: first complete the positioning, then tighten them in sequence to the specified value. Keep the original panels if you plan to resell the bike in its stock configuration.

Compatibility

Brand	Model	Years
BMW	R 1300 GS	2023 onward

The CSB131 installation manual and LOBOO parameter sheet list only the R 1300 GS. The R 1300 GS Adventure is not declared compatible: it has different side panels, and LOBOO produces a separate item for that motorcycle.

Package contents

1 left carbon fiber radiator cover
1 right carbon fiber radiator cover
4 GS logo stickers for the left side
4 GS logo stickers for the right side
2 75% isopropyl alcohol cleaning wipes
Installation manual in 8 languages, including Italian

The screws are the motorcycle's original screws and are not included: reuse the ones you remove.

Not to be confused with the radiator guard

This is the side aesthetic cover. The LOBOO CHW131 radiator guard is instead the mesh that protects the radiator core from gravel and debris. They are two different products, cover different areas, and both can be installed.

CSB131 · carbon fiber · 180 g per pair · GS logo stickers in 4 colors

How does it work, in detail?

Material, weight, assembly, and logo customization: every aspect explained one by one.

Genuine carbon fiber, not a carbon-fiber-effect finish

The pattern you see is the material itself, not a printed film applied over the plastic. Up close, the difference is immediately noticeable, and over the years it neither peels off nor fades at the edges.

180 g per pair, compared with the original 350 g

It is the direct comparison stated by the manufacturer: the standard panels weigh about 350 g twice as much, these weigh about 180 g. Just under half, positioned high and toward the front of the motorcycle.

The front end changes appearance

The two side panels are the most visible part of the front of the R 1300 GS, right below the tank. Replacing them with carbon fiber is the most noticeable aesthetic upgrade for the same cost.

No drilling required

LOBOO states that it modeled the part using the vehicle’s original data: the holes align with the factory mounting points, and you screw the same bolts back in that you removed. Nothing irreversible is done to the motorcycle.

Eight GS logo stickers included

The package includes four die-cut stickers per side — white, light blue, orange, and yellow — already cut to fit the logo slot. They are included in the price, not a separate accessory.

The GS logo in the color you want

You can match the logo to your motorcycle’s livery, echo the color of the rims, or leave the carbon bare without applying anything. The choice is reversible: you can change the decals whenever you want.

Glossy or matte

The glossy finish The glossy finish reflects the light and makes the texture stand out: it is the most eye-catching choice. The matte finish is more understated and pairs better with dark liveries. It is selected when placing the order.

How does the glossy finish look?

On a motorcycle, the glossy version catches the light along the entire length of the panel. It is worth bearing in mind that, like any glossy surface, it shows dust and fingerprints more easily.

The specifications declared by the manufacturer

LOBOO parameter sheet: model CSB131-A, carbon fiber material, glossy or matte finish, motorcycle specified as BMW R1300GS from 2023 onward. This is the source from which we obtained the data for this sheet, together with the installation manual.

How do they fit on the motorcycle?

Real installation photos, not a rendering. The panel follows the contour of the side fairing and remains within the original dimensions, so it does not interfere with crash bars or guards already installed.

Assembly in eight steps

Four steps per side: remove the two original screws and the stock panel, clean the surface with the included wipe, apply the stickers, and install the cover by tightening the same screws to 3 N·m.

Montaggio e requisiti

Come si monta

Istruzioni complete e note di sicurezza

Otto passaggi, quattro per lato. Si svitano le due viti originali che tengono il pannello decorativo di serie e lo si rimuove; si pulisce la superficie con la salvietta all'alcol isopropilico inclusa; si applicano gli adesivi nella zona indicata; si appoggia la cover in carbonio e si riavvitano le viti originali a 3 N·m. Il manuale raccomanda di non serrare a fondo subito, ma di completare prima il posizionamento.

Assembly and care

These replace the original air ducts: keep the removed parts if you plan to resell the bike in its standard configuration.
For cleaning, use neutral detergents: avoid solvents and abrasive products, which dull the fibre's finish.
Check the tightness after the first uses, without overtightening the fastening points.
Verify make, model, year, and version before purchasing.

It's the right choice if:

You want to change the look of the front with an exposed material, not with a paint finish
You are looking for greater resistance than the original plastic in that area
You are interested in the set version, which adds an attachment point for crash bar bags

Be careful not to confuse them with the radiator guard: that is the mesh that protects the radiator core from debris. These are different products, for different areas, and both can be installed.

Domande frequenti

Le domande che ci fate più spesso

Do they replace the original panels, or are they mounted over them?

They replace them. Remove the two standard decorative panels by unscrewing two screws on each side, then install the carbon-fiber covers in their place using the same screws.

Will they fit the R 1300 GS Adventure?

No. The LOBOO installation manual and specification sheet list only the R 1300 GS from 2023 onward. The Adventure has different side panels, and there is a separate product for that motorcycle: if you have an Adventure, contact us before ordering.

How much do they weigh compared to the originals?

About 180 g per pair, compared with approximately 350 g for the original panels. This is a comparison stated by the manufacturer and measured manually, so it should be considered an indicative value.

Is it real carbon fiber or just a carbon-fiber effect?

It is real carbon fiber, declared by the manufacturer as the primary material. It is neither a printed film nor a carbon-fiber-effect coating applied to plastic.

What’s in the package?

Two carbon-fiber covers (left and right), eight GS logo stickers—four per side—two 75% isopropyl alcohol cleaning wipes, and the assembly manual in 8 languages. Screws are not included because the motorcycle’s original ones are reused.

Are the GS logo stickers included in the price?

Yes, eight die-cut stickers are included: four per side, in white, light blue, orange, and yellow. You can apply whichever you prefer or leave the carbon fiber without a logo.
