Description Vintage motorcycle pannier 12 liters | heavy cotton canvas, quick-release with key

The BCB12BK vintage pannier is a single 12-liter bag made of heavy cotton canvas — 16-ounce canvas — designed for cruisers, scramblers, and vintage motorcycles. The manufacturer states dimensions of 38 × 29 × 14 cm and includes a waterproof inner bag: that is what keeps the contents dry, because LOBOO makes no water-resistance claim for the outer canvas.

Why choose it

  • 16-ounce cotton canvas. Ounces measure how heavy the fabric is: sixteen is a work-canvas weight, not a lightweight backpack weight. This allows the bag to withstand abrasion and retain its shape even when empty.
  • Internal U-shaped support plate. A shaped plate that reinforces the base and sides, so the contents are not crushed when the bag rests against the frame.
  • Quick release with key lock. The bag detaches from the plate in a few seconds and remains locked to the motorcycle when you leave it parked.
  • Keys can be matched to LOBOO aluminum cases. On request, the lock can be supplied with the same key code as cases you already own by providing the code when ordering: one key for all your luggage.
  • MOLLE webbing on both sides. These are the sewn grid straps used to attach pockets and accessories. Here they are on both sides, not just one.
  • The mounting plate also carries MOLLE accessories. With only the plate installed, you can attach water bottles or dry bags from the Wanderer range, even without the bag.

What's included and how to install it

The bag's package includes the pannier and one waterproof inner TPU bag, a waterproof plastic polyurethane material. It does not include any of the parts required for installation.

Installing the BCB12BK requires two components sold separately: the BZJ01BK aluminum-alloy mounting plate, measuring 35.7 × 26.2 cm, and the stainless-steel frame specific to your motorcycle. The frame attaches to the motorcycle, the plate attaches to the frame, and the bag attaches to the plate using the quick release. The "Complete Set" configurations on this page contain all three pieces.

Each component has its own LOBOO user manual in eight languages: BCB12 for the bag, BZJ01 for the mounting plate, JF501B01, JF801B01, and JF931B for the frames. If you need them before purchasing, ask us and we will send them to you.

Compatibility

The BCB12BK is universal: compatibility is determined by the model-specific frame. LOBOO's technical documentation lists four frames.

Frame Brand Model Years
JF501B01BK Honda CM500 from 2022
JF801B01BK Voge CU525 from 2024
JF931B01BK Triumph Scrambler 1200XE (black) from 2024
JF931B01SL Triumph Scrambler 1200XE (silver) from 2024

Each frame must always be paired with the BZJ01BK plate. Before purchasing, check the model, year, version, and accessories already installed on the motorcycle.

Usage limitations

  • The price is for a single bag. To equip both sides, you need two bags, two plates, and two frames.
  • The outer canvas has no stated water resistance. LOBOO does not certify the fabric's waterproofness: waterproofing is provided by the inner bag, which should be used for contents that need protection.
  • The weight is not specified by the manufacturer, and we do not publish an inferred figure. Tightening torques are listed in the manuals for the individual components.
  • The bag cannot be mounted on its own. Without the plate and frame, there is no way to attach it to the motorcycle.
  • Key matching to LOBOO cases must be requested when ordering by providing the key code. This cannot be done afterward.
  • No LOBOO source attributes impact-protection functions to this bag. Impact-absorption performance applies to the inflatable Alps range, not the BCB12BK.

The data in this sheet comes from LOBOO technical documentation and the distributor's price list. The dimensions are indicative and may vary slightly from one unit to another.

Why choose it
  • Integrated Waterproofing: Includes a dedicated, integrated TPU waterproof inner bag to ensure contents remain completely dry, regardless of weather conditions.
  • High-Strength Fabric: Made from abrasion-resistant, high-tenacity fabric designed to withstand the stresses of the road while maintaining its elegant structure.
  • Quick Release System: Equipped with an integrated quick release mechanism for fast and secure attachment and detachment from the mounting plate (requires mounting plate and rack sold separately).
  • Anti-theft System: Equipped with an anti-theft system for peace of mind when leaving your motorcycle unattended.
  • Modular Storage: Includes multiple storage compartments and an external MOLLE expansion system for attaching extra gear or pouches.
  • Honda CM500: Compatible with HONDA CM500 (2022-) using the JF501B01BK side bag holder.
Who is it recommended for

È la scelta giusta se guidi una cruiser, una scrambler o una moto vintage e vuoi una borsa laterale che si tolga in pochi secondi per portarla con te, con un'estetica coerente con la moto e una capacità da uso quotidiano.

È da valutare con attenzione se ti serve una tenuta all'acqua certificata sul tessuto esterno, se viaggi con carichi voluminosi o se fai fuoristrada impegnativo: in questi casi le borse laterali Alps di LOBOO, gonfiabili e con resistenza all'immersione dichiarata (IPX7), sono più adatte.

How does it work, in detail?

Made for cruisers, scramblers, and vintage bikes

Made for cruisers, scramblers, and vintage bikes

The squared-off cut, black canvas, and metal plate on the front aren’t just for show: they’re why this bag looks right on a motorcycle with neither fairings nor aluminum panniers. On a cruiser or a scrambler, a technical adventure bag looks out of place; this one doesn’t.

It’s still a motorcycle bag: buckles, MOLLE webbing, and quick-release hardware sit beneath an aesthetic that looks urban.

What do you need to assemble it?

What do you need to assemble it?

The LOBOO purchase panel is explicit: installing the BCB12BK requires three pieces—the bag, the BZJ01BK mounting plate, and the frame specific to your motorcycle. The frame attaches to the motorcycle, the plate to the frame, and the bag clips onto the plate. The Complete Set configurations on this page contain all three.

Quick-release: how the bag attaches to the plate

Quick-release: how the bag attaches to the plate

Two quick-release buckles attach the bag to the BZJ01BK aluminum alloy plate, which measures 35.7 × 26.2 cm. The bag detaches and reattaches in seconds without tools, while the plate remains on the motorcycle.

Key lock on the release mechanism

Key lock on the release mechanism

The quick-release system incorporates a key lock, so the bag can remain locked to the motorcycle when you leave it parked. The manufacturer states that keys can be supplied to match the key code of LOBOO aluminum cases: if you already own some, provide us with the code when ordering and you’ll use a single key for all your luggage.

16-ounce cotton canvas: what does it mean

16-ounce cotton canvas: what does it mean

The manufacturer states that the cotton canvas weighs 16 ounces. Ounces measure how heavy the fabric is per unit of area: the more ounces, the thicker the canvas and the more resistant it is to abrasion. Sixteen ounces is the weight of work-grade canvas, not a lightweight backpack.

In practice, this is what allows the bag to withstand abrasion and maintain its shape even when empty, rather than sagging against the side of the motorcycle.

U-shaped support plate: the load does not get crushed

U-shaped support plate: the load does not get crushed

Inside, the BCB12BK has a U-shaped support plate that reinforces the base and sides. It protects the contents: without it, the load would be crushed against the frame whenever the bag is jolted. This is what distinguishes a structured bag from a soft sack.

Waterproof inner pouch included in the package

Waterproof inner pouch included in the package

The LOBOO package includes a one-piece waterproof inner TPU bag made of thermoplastic polyurethane. This is what keeps the contents dry in the rain.

For the outer canvas, the manufacturer does not claim any water resistance, so anything you want to protect should be placed inside the bag. We state this clearly rather than leaving it implied.

MOLLE webbing on both sides: where to attach accessories

MOLLE webbing on both sides: where to attach accessories

MOLLE is the standard for the grid-stitched webbing visible on both sides of the bag: you can attach compatible pockets, bottle holders, and accessories, which stay securely in place without tools.

The LOBOO technical panel features them on both sides, not just one: you can distribute the weight instead of loading everything onto the same side.

The MOLLE accessory plate, even without the bag

The MOLLE accessory plate, even without the bag

The BZJ01BK plate also has MOLLE attachment points. The manufacturer shows Wanderer range water bottles and dry bags mounted directly on the plate: this means that even when traveling without the side bag, the mount you have already installed on your motorcycle remains usable.

Fixed shoulder strap, stows in the side pocket

Fixed shoulder strap, stows in the side pocket

The shoulder strap is fixed and can be stored in the side pocket when the bag is mounted on the motorcycle. Once detached, the BCB12BK becomes a shoulder bag or can be carried by hand using the top handle, without having to transfer its contents to another piece of luggage.

Twelve liters, the everyday size

Twelve liters, the everyday size

Twelve liters fit a change of clothes, rain gear and tools, or a jet helmet. They are not the liters for someone leaving for two weeks, but they are what you need every day, and they fit in a bag that, when you get off the motorcycle, you can carry by hand or over your shoulder.

For long trips and demanding off-road riding, the LOBOO range includes the larger Alps side bags, with greater capacity and a declared IPX7 rating.

Dimensions, capacity, and materials declared by the manufacturer

Dimensions, capacity, and materials declared by the manufacturer

The LOBOO parameter panel states 38 × 29 × 14 cm, that is, 380 × 290 × 140 mm, for a capacity of 12 liters. The composition is cotton canvas, nylon, EVA foam, TPU, polyurethane, and polypropylene.

The manufacturer specifies that the measurements are taken by hand and may vary slightly. Weight and resistance to water and dust are not declared by any LOBOO source.

How does it fit on compatible motorcycles?

How does it fit on compatible motorcycles?

The manufacturer documents installation on very different motorcycles: the Honda CM500, a low, long cruiser, and the Triumph Scrambler 1200XE, which is much taller and has an exposed exhaust. Only the frame changes, while the bag and mounting plate remain the same.

That is also why compatibility must be checked against the frame, not the bag: the frame is what knows your motorcycle.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

Which motorcycles is this side bag compatible with?

The bag itself is universal: compatibility is determined by the frame, which is model-specific. LOBOO’s technical panel lists four frames: JF501B01BK for the Honda CM500 from 2022 onward, JF801B01BK for the Voge CU525 from 2024 onward, and JF931B01BK and JF931B01SL, in black and silver, for the Triumph Scrambler 1200XE from 2024 onward. Before purchasing, check the model, year, version, and accessories already installed on the motorcycle.

What do I need to mount it, besides the bag?

Two components sold separately are required: the BZJ01BK aluminum-alloy mounting plate and the stainless-steel frame specific to your motorcycle. The frame attaches to the motorcycle, the plate attaches to the frame, and the bag clips onto the plate. The bag cannot be mounted on its own. The Complete Set configurations on this page include all three pieces at a single price.

What is included in the package?

The manufacturer’s panel indicates one pannier and one waterproof TPU inner bag. Nothing else: the mounting plate and frame are not included and must be purchased separately, or by choosing a Complete set configuration.

Is the price for a single bag or for the pair?

For a single pannier. Even the Complete Set configurations equip only one side of the motorcycle: they include one pannier, one mounting plate, and one frame. To mount panniers on both sides, you need two sets.

What does 16-ounce canvas mean?

It is how the heaviness of a canvas is measured: ounces indicate how much the fabric weighs for a given area, so the more ounces, the thicker and more abrasion-resistant the canvas. Sixteen ounces is the typical weight for work canvas, well above that of a lightweight backpack.

On the bag, this translates into two concrete benefits: it withstands abrasion against the motorcycle frame better and maintains its shape even when empty. This figure is stated by the manufacturer; the weight in grams per square meter is not, so we do not convert it.

Is the bag waterproof?

Not the outer fabric, or at least the manufacturer does not state that it is. The IP rating measures how resistant an object is to water and dust, and LOBOO does not publish one for the BCB12BK; we do not infer it.

Water resistance is provided by the included inner bag, made of TPU, a plastic polyurethane that the manufacturer describes as waterproof. In practice: in the rain, anything that needs to stay dry should be placed inside the bag.

How much does the bag weigh?

The weight is not specified by the manufacturer: it appears neither on LOBOO’s technical data sheets nor on the official website, so we are not publishing it. We have asked the distributor and will update the product page as soon as we have verifiable information.

Can it be locked? Can I use the same key as for the LOBOO suitcases?

Yes. The quick-release mechanism includes a keyed lock, so the bag can remain locked to the plate when you leave the motorcycle. The manufacturer also states that the keys can be supplied matched to the key code of LOBOO aluminum cases. If you already own them, provide us with the code when placing your order. This must be arranged in advance, not afterward.

What are the dimensions, and how much does it hold?

The manufacturer states 38 × 29 × 14 cm, that is, 380 × 290 × 140 mm, for a capacity of 12 liters. It is a size for everyday use and light touring: it can hold a jet helmet or an open-face helmet, or a change of clothes, rain gear, and tools. The measurements are taken manually by the manufacturer, which states that deviations are possible.

How long does it take to detach the bag from the motorcycle?

A few seconds and no tools needed. The bag attaches to the BZJ01BK plate with two quick-release buckles: lift it to detach it, while the plate and frame remain mounted on the motorcycle. Reattaching it takes the same motion.

Can I attach pockets or accessories to the bag?

Yes. The bag has MOLLE webbing on both sides, consisting of the grid-like sewn straps that are the standard for attaching pouches, bottle holders, and accessories without tools. The LOBOO technical panel indicates them on both sides, not just one, so you can distribute the weight.

The manufacturer does not specify a maximum load for the webbing.

Can I leave the plate mounted and use it without the bag?

Yes. The manufacturer shows the BZJ01BK plate used on its own to attach MOLLE accessories, such as a water bottle or a dry bag from the Wanderer range. If you’re traveling light, you can leave the plate and frame installed and mount only the accessory you need.

What is the difference between the BCB12BK and LOBOO Alps side bags?

They are two products for different uses. The BCB12BK is a structured 12-liter vintage cotton-canvas bag designed for cruisers and scramblers, with model-specific frame mounting. The Alps are inflatable 23- or 30-liter side bags per side, with a stated immersion-resistance rating (IPX7) and shock absorption, designed for adventure motorcycles with 18 mm side racks.

If you’re looking for certified waterproofing and long-distance touring capacity, choose the Alps; if you’re looking for a single, stylish, detachable bag for everyday use, this is the one.

What warranty does the product have?

LOBOO offers a 12-month commercial warranty. However, purchases made on Endurrad are covered by the 24-month statutory warranty of conformity provided for by the Consumer Code, which offers broader coverage. In the event of a lack of conformity, contact us: we will handle the claim with the manufacturer.
