LOBOO CHG421 Crash Bars for Suzuki V-Strom 800DE | 304 stainless steel, upper and lower bars

The LOBOO manual and product page state compatibility with the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE from 2024 onward. The other V-Strom models, from the 650 to the 1050DE, are not listed and use different part numbers: if you have one of those, contact us and we’ll point you to the correct model.

Quattro. The official name in the manual is Upper and Lower Crash Bar: two upper bars protect the fairings and side radiator panels, while two lower bars extend downward to cover the engine casing. It is a complete kit, not just the upper section.

Three areas: the engine casing, the radiator’s side panels, and the upper fairings. These are the points that make contact first when the motorcycle tips over while stationary or slides at low speed, which is also why the kit has bars on two levels instead of just one.

The manual’s parts list includes 13 items: four bars, two 50 mm M8 screws, four 25 mm M8 screws, two 20 mm M6 screws, two 16 mm M6 screws, four M6 washers, two M6 self-locking nuts, five M8 washers, and an assembly wrench. Nothing needs to be purchased separately.

No. The bars attach to the frame’s original mounting points, with no drilling, cutting, or modifications: once removed, the V-Strom returns exactly to its original condition.

The manual describes six steps and is among the quickest in the range. Installation is identical on both sides of the motorcycle, so once you understand the first, the second follows naturally. A torque wrench is required for the final tightening.

22 N·m for the M8 bolts and 10 N·m for the M6 bolts. LOBOO advises not fully tightening during installation, completing all adjustments first, and tightening in sequence only at the end, as well as periodically checking the tightness. The removed original parts must be reinstalled to Suzuki's specified torque values. The complete manual can be downloaded from this page.

Only the appearance differs. The silver is sandblasted 304 stainless steel, left exposed; the black is electrostatically powder-coated. The material, dimensions, geometry, and fittings are identical: only the codes differ, CHG421SL and CHG421BK.

That’s why LOBOO uses 304 stainless steel for this part number: it withstands rain, mud, and water crossings, and it won’t rust where the paint chips. On an 800DE, which is genuinely built for off-road riding, that matters more than on a road bike.

Yes: the bars have built-in mounting points for auxiliary or fog lights, so there is no need for universal clamps tightened around the tube. However, neither the lights nor their dedicated mounts are included: the LOBOO images show them for illustrative purposes only. The manufacturer does not publish the exact hole diameter, so if you have already chosen the lights, write to us and we will check the measurement on the actual product before you place your order.

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

LOBOO does not state either the weight or the added width for this code, not even in the manual, so we do not publish them. If you need them, we can weigh and measure the kit in stock before the order.

Yes, and the manual explicitly asks you to do so. After the first 100–200 km, recheck all the screws at the specified torque values, and repeat the check periodically and after every fall. Also make sure the bars are not deformed or 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.
