LOBOO CHG289 Crash Bar for Honda NX400 and NX500 | 304 stainless steel, Ø 25 mm, black or silver

Yes. The LOBOO manual and product images both list Honda NX400 (2024-) and Honda NX500 (2024-): a single code covers both motorcycles, which share the same chassis.

No, LOBOO does not list it. The NX500 replaced the CB500X, but it is a different motorcycle in terms of mounting points: the code for the CB500X is different. If you have a CB500X, write to us and we’ll tell you the correct one.

Four bars and five brackets. Two upper bars run at the level of the fairings and radiator, while two lower bars extend down along the engine side. The manual’s parts list contains 24 items in total, including bushings, caps, M8 and M10 bolts, nuts, washers, and an installation wrench: there’s no need to buy anything separately.

The kit anchors to the frame at multiple points rather than just one, thanks to the five brackets connecting the upper and lower bars. In the event of contact, the load is distributed across several attachment points instead of being concentrated on a single one.

No drilling or welding: the kit attaches to the original mounting points and can be removed without leaving any marks. However, the instructions require temporarily removing some parts, which must be reinstalled to Honda's specified torque values.

18 N·m for the M8 screws and 45 N·m for the M10 screws. The exception is the 168 mm M10 through-bolt, which must be tightened to 55 N·m: this is the value that must not be wrong because it holds the two sides together. LOBOO indicates completing all adjustments first and tightening in sequence only at the end.

The manual describes eight steps. It is manageable for anyone accustomed to working on motorcycles, but a torque wrench is required and it should be done calmly: all the bars must be positioned before tightening.

Just the appearance. The silver is sandblasted stainless steel, matching the engine block; the black is powder-coated and more discreet. The material, dimensions, geometry, and mounting points are identical: only the codes differ, CHG289SXSL and CHG289SXBK.

Yes: LOBOO drills pre-positioned holes in the bars for auxiliary spotlights or fog lights, so no additional brackets or clamps are needed. The manufacturer does not publish the exact hole diameter: if you have already chosen the lights, write to us and we will check the size on the actual part before you place your order.

No. Spotlights, mounts, and accessories shown in the images are for demonstration purposes and must be purchased separately. The package includes the bars, brackets, and all the hardware needed to install them.

It reduces damage; it does not eliminate it. The bars move the point of contact away from the fairings, radiator, and engine side, but the outcome depends on speed, angle, and surface. LOBOO does not publish load tests for this code, so we do not claim impact-resistance thresholds.

LOBOO does not state the weight of this code, either on the product page or in the manual, so we do not publish it. If you need it, we can weigh the kit in our warehouse and let you know before you place the order.

Yes, and the manual itself calls for it. After the first 100–200 km, recheck all the bolts at the specified torque settings, and repeat the check periodically and after every fall. Also make sure the bars are not deformed and are not resting against fairings or components.

24-month legal consumer warranty: LOBOO states 12 months, but Italian law prevails, and we handle the claim with the manufacturer. Tracked shipping is free for orders over €100 in Italy and €250 in Europe. You have 14 days from receipt of the last item in your order to return it, provided the product is intact and in its original packaging.
