Waterproof Engine Guard Bags for 22-28 mm Crash Bars, 6 L – Wanderer Pair

They fit crash bars with a diameter of 22 to 28 mm. If you don't know the size of your bars, it's best to check it with calipers before purchasing: this is the only dimensional detail you need to verify. They attach with adjustable straps, so you don't need a kit dedicated to your motorcycle model. This is the main difference compared with the BHGB05T inflatable version, which fits only 25 mm bars.

The other thing to check is that there is clear space behind the bar, with no cables, brake lines, or radiator in contact with it.

Two 6-liter bags and two PP U-shaped frames, one for each bag: this is the parts list from the official LOBOO manual. The fastening straps with Duraflex buckles are already sewn onto the bags, and the PP support plate is integrated into the back.

Crash bars are not included: the bags attach to bars already mounted on the motorcycle.

No, the manual does not require screws or tools. The sequence is: insert the U-shaped frame into the bag, load the items, roll the edge three times, and close the buckles.

Then place the bag against the bar from behind, pass the upper strap over the horizontal tube, and wrap the lower straps around the tube, adjusting the length and securing it with the buckle. Check the tightness again after the first few kilometers.

Yes, the strap mounting does not distinguish between a high bar and a low bar: what matters is that the tube is between 22 and 28 mm and that there is clearance behind it. However, the weight sits higher on upper bars, and this is felt more when cornering on a loaded motorcycle.

The recommendation is to keep heavy items low and use the higher position, if available, for light, bulky items.

It depends on two things. If your crash bar isn’t 25 mm, the choice is already made: the BHGB05T won’t fit, but this one will, because it fits bars from 22 to 28 mm.

If it is 25 mm, you can consider both options. According to LOBOO’s comparison table, the inflatable one has an inflation system, a waterproof zipper, IPX7 protection, and a primary anti-theft system, and it holds its shape with the air chamber. This one uses a roll-top closure, which doesn’t lock but doesn’t have a zipper exposed to mud and salt, and it holds its shape with the frame and PP plate. The volume is the same: 6 liters per bag.

In short: choose the inflatable one if you want a zipper and anti-theft protection; choose this one if you prefer a closure without mechanisms and flexibility regarding the bar diameter.

IPX6 means resistance to powerful water jets, which in real-world use covers heavy rain and being splashed by trucks while overtaking them on wet roads. It does not mean immersion. However, water resistance also depends on you: the roll-top must be rolled at least three times before fastening the buckles. With only one roll, water can get in, and this is the most common mistake with this type of bag.

Six liters is about the size of a small gym bag. In practice, it can hold a puncture repair kit, a set of wrenches, a rolled-up rain jacket, and spare gloves. Or two bottles of water and something to eat.

It won’t fit a helmet or a camera with the lens attached: its dimensions are 25 × 12 × 30 cm, so the usable thickness is just over ten centimeters. It’s designed for things you want within easy reach, not for your main luggage.

LOBOO packages them as a pair, one for each side, so they arrive as two 6-liter bags, for a total capacity of 12 liters. There is no single-bag package in the catalog.

Nothing prevents you from mounting just one if you only need storage space on one side, but for load balance, it is best to use both.

Yes, and in fact that’s the most common use: the panniers are behind, level with the passenger, while these are in front on the bars, in an area the panniers don’t occupy. They don’t touch.

That’s exactly the idea: keep the things you need during the day out of the panniers, so you don’t have to open the main luggage at every stop.

No, the roll-top closure does not lock. Anyone can open it, and the straps can be unclipped by hand. We prefer to tell you clearly: don't leave anything inside that you would regret losing when parking on the street.

If you need a basic deterrent, the BHGB05T inflatable model has a primary anti-theft system. It is still a fabric bag, not a lockable aluminum top case.

If the straps are tightened properly, no. The key difference is the PP plate embedded in the back: it rests against the tube over a broad surface rather than at a single point, so the bag does not rotate around the bar.

The practical advice is to check the tightness again after the first few miles and whenever you change how you load it. The fabric settles a little during the first few uses.

The bottom is the best place for weight, so yes, tools fit well there. But the limit isn’t set by the bag; it’s set by the crash bar.

Crash bars are designed to protect, not to carry loads, and each manufacturer specifies a limit. Check it in the owner’s manual or the bar’s documentation, and distribute the weight between both sides instead of loading everything on one side.

LOBOO does not state either the weight of an individual bag or a maximum load capacity, and we prefer to tell you that rather than estimate a figure.

In any case, the practical limit is set not by the bag but by the crash bar: engine guards are designed to provide protection, not carry loads, and the crash bar or motorcycle manufacturer specifies the limit to observe.

Yes, the internal U-shaped frame is removable: slide it out if you need a softer bag that can be filled right to the last centimeter, or if you want it to lie flat when you’re not using it.

The reinforcement plate on the back, however, is embedded in the fabric and stays in place: it’s what lets the bag rest against the bar over a broad surface and prevents it from rotating.

No. The LOBOO manual indicates cleaning the surface after each use with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, without bleach, fabric softeners, or acidic or alkaline detergents. Do not use a washing machine, iron, dry-cleaning, or tumble dryer: let them air-dry, away from prolonged direct sunlight.

The manual also says not to use insect repellents on the surface and to avoid sharp objects, which may compromise waterproofing. If you do not use them for a long time, store them in a cool, dry place.
