Description LOBOO CHG511 crash bar for Honda ADV 350 | Ø 22 mm steel, version A or B

The CHG511 is the LOBOO crash bar for the Honda ADV 350 from 2025 onward, made of Ø 22 mm steel tubing with a black finish. It comes in two versions, A and B, and the difference must be understood before ordering: it is not a matter of style but of the mounting points on the motorcycle.

The two versions have different shapes and hardware, and can be recognized at a glance from the product images. Version A, code CHG511BK, consists of two bars with a solid-machined mounting block at the upper end: it includes its own mounting point and is the choice for motorcycles without a pre-installed lower mounting point. Version B, code CHG511BK2, consists of two wider-arc bars with open ends, supplied with two separate brackets: it provides more coverage but uses the mounting points already present on the motorcycle, and costs less precisely because it does not have the machined blocks found on version A. The parts lists confirm this as well: eighteen items in version A and fourteen in version B.

There is one point that should be noted here. The buying guide published by LOBOO is more restrictive: it indicates compatibility only with models that already have mounting points prepared beside the footrests, without distinguishing between the two versions. Until we clarify this point with the manufacturer, we would rather tell you than have you discover the problem after opening the package: send us a photo of the lower area next to the footrest and we will confirm which code to order.

Installation requires neither drilling nor permanent modifications, but it is not a five-minute job. Both manuals describe thirteen steps and begin with removing the lower side fairings, which must then be reinstalled using Honda's specified torque settings. LOBOO indicates that the fasteners should not be fully tightened during installation, but tightened in sequence only at the end: 12 N.m for the M6 bolts and 18 N.m for the M8 bolts. Each version has its own manual, available in eight languages including Italian, downloadable from this page.

LOBOO provides pre-drilled holes on the bars for auxiliary lights or fog lights, which must be purchased separately and are not included in either package.

A crash bar reduces damage from a stationary fall or an impact while parked, but does not eliminate it: LOBOO does not publish load tests for this code, so we do not state any resistance thresholds. It does not publish the weight either, which we can check in our warehouse upon request. Endurrad is a retailer, not the manufacturer: we handle sales, shipping, and support, while the technical data remains as declared by LOBOO.

Why choose it
  • Two versions available:the CHG511BK2 requires the lower mounting point, the CHG511BK does not.
  • Protects the fairings:absorbs contact instead of the plastic in a stationary fall or parking collision.
  • Black finish:integrated with the bike's aesthetics.
  • Dedicated to the model:Honda ADV 350 from 2025.
Who is it recommended for

The first check to make, even before choosing:

  • CHG511BK2: only applicable to motorcycles equipped with a crash bar mounting point at the bottom.
  • CHG511BK: the version to choose if that attachment point is not present on your motorcycle.

Without that mounting point, the more economical version cannot be installed. In case of doubt, send us a photo of the lower area and we will confirm the correct code for you.

Documents and manufacturer

Assembly and Notes

  • Check for the lower attachment point before choosing the CHG511BK2 version.
  • Re-check all fasteners after the first 100-200 km and periodically thereafter.
  • After an impact, check that the bar is not deformed and does not rest on fairings or components.
  • This is not an approved safety device and does not replace careful driving.

Key Specifications

  • Quantity: 2 PCS

  • Material: Steel

How does it work, in detail?

Recognize version A: it comes with its own attachment

Recognize version A: it comes with its own attachment

The CHG511BK consists of two bars with a machined attachment block at the upper end. This is what makes the difference: the bar comes with its own mounting point instead of requiring you to find one on the motorcycle.

It is also why this version costs more than the other one and why its bill of materials contains eighteen items instead of fourteen.

Recognize version B: wider arch, separate brackets

Recognize version B: wider arch, separate brackets

The CHG511BK2 consists of two wider-arched bars with open ends, accompanied by two separate brackets. LOBOO describes it as the more comprehensive protective profile of the two.

It costs less because it does not have the machined blocks of version A: it mounts to the fittings already present on the motorcycle, and without them it cannot be installed.

Install the crash bar without drilling into the ADV 350

Install the crash bar without drilling into the ADV 350

With a new scooter, the first concern is having to drill or modify something. Not here: LOBOO states that it mounts to the original mounting points, with no drilling or permanent modifications to the frame, and the kit can be removed without leaving any traces.

However, this is not a five-minute job. The manual describes thirteen steps and starts with removing the lower side panels, which must then be reinstalled to Honda’s specified torque settings.

Check where the bar attaches to the hull.

The detail shows the point where the bar attaches at the top, next to the fairing, and then runs down along the footrest.

This is the area to check before ordering: the LOBOO buying guide indicates compatibility with models that have mounting points already provided on the sides of the footrests. If you’re not sure, send us a photo and we’ll confirm the part number.

Add the spotlights without buying separate brackets

Add the spotlights without buying separate brackets

Anyone who uses the ADV 350 to commute early or return after dark will eventually want two auxiliary lights, and dedicated brackets usually need to be purchased separately.

LOBOO provides pre-drilled holes on the bars for auxiliary or fog lights. The lights shown in the images are for demonstration purposes and are not included in the package.

Look at how the stripe runs along the side.

Look at how the stripe runs along the side.

The bar descends from the upper area and continues along the lower side, at the height where a scooter makes contact when it tips over while stationary.

LOBOO states that the design is based on analysis of the motorcycle’s original structure. No load testing is published, so we do not specify strength thresholds: a crash bar reduces damage; it does not eliminate it.

Check that it is compatible with the top case you already have

Check that it is compatible with the top case you already have

The installation images show the ADV 350 already equipped with a top case and auxiliary lights: they help illustrate how the crash bar works with the rest of the setup.

The top case, mounting plate, and auxiliary lights visible in the photos are not included in the package. If you have a particular setup, send us a photo and we’ll assess it before you place your order.

Measure how much the bar extends the scooter.

Measure how much the bar extends the scooter.

For a vehicle used in the city, the recurring question isn't about durability but bulk: how far it protrudes into traffic and in the garage.

The close-up front view gives the actual sense of scale, with the spotlights mounted for demonstration purposes. LOBOO does not state the width in millimeters; if you need the precise measurement, we can measure it in the warehouse.

Check what changes in the view from the saddle

Check what changes in the view from the saddle

From the riding position, the crash bar remains below the fairing line and does not enter the field of vision or interfere with the grips or mirrors.

It is worth checking this by looking at the photo: on a scooter, the footboard area is also where you place your feet when stopped.

Look at the finished ADV 350 from the side

Look at the finished ADV 350 from the side

A crash bar changes the bike’s lines more than you might expect, and the black finish specified by LOBOO is designed to blend into the ADV 350’s dark livery.

It’s worth looking at it from the side before ordering to see how noticeable it is when the bike is stationary.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

Which motorcycles is the CHG511 mounted on?

LOBOO declares compatibility with the Honda ADV 350 from 2025 onward. The ADV 350 from earlier model years and the ADV 750 are not listed as compatible; if you have one of those, contact us before ordering.

What’s the difference between version A and version B?

The shape and hardware. Version A, CHG511BK, consists of two bars with a solid-machined mounting block at the upper end and includes eighteen line items in the bill of materials. Version B, CHG511BK2, is a wider arch with open ends plus two separate brackets, with fourteen line items in the bill of materials: LOBOO describes it as the more enveloping profile, and it costs less precisely because it lacks version A’s machined blocks.

Which version should I order?

It depends on the mounting points on your ADV 350. Version A comes with its own mounting point, while version B uses the one already present on the motorcycle. However, the LOBOO buying guide indicates compatibility only with models equipped with mounting points on the sides of the footrests, without distinguishing between the two versions: send us a photo of that area and we’ll confirm the correct code, or let you know if neither one can be fitted to your motorcycle.

Do you need to drill or modify the scooter?

No. LOBOO specifies installation on the original mounting points, with no drilling or permanent modifications: the kit can be removed without leaving any traces.

How difficult is the assembly?

More than the formula suggests puncture-free. Both manuals describe thirteen steps and begin with removing the lower side fairings, which must be reinstalled at the torque specifications specified by Honda. It is manageable for anyone accustomed to working on the vehicle, but it is not a five-minute job.

What torque specifications should I use?

12 N·m for the M6 screws and 18 N·m for the M8 screws, the same for both versions. LOBOO advises not tightening fully during assembly, completing all adjustments first, and tightening in sequence only at the end, as well as periodically checking the tightness. The complete manual can be downloaded from this product page.

What do I find in the package?

Version A includes eighteen items: two bars, two dedicated mounting blocks, spacers and bushings, 50 mm and 25 mm M6 screws, 45 mm and 12 mm M8 screws, nuts and washers, rubber pads, two caps, and two assembly keys. Version B includes fourteen: two bars, two small brackets, bushings, 50 mm, 40 mm, and 25 mm M6 screws, 12 mm M8 screws, nuts and washers, four rubber pads, and one key. Nothing else needs to be purchased.

What material is it made of?

Ø 22 mm steel tube with a black finish. LOBOO does not specify the alloy: this code is not identified as 304 stainless steel, which applies instead to other crash bars in the range and should not be attributed to the CHG511.

Can I mount auxiliary spotlights on it?

Yes: LOBOO drills preconfigured holes in the bars for auxiliary spotlights or fog lights. The manufacturer does not publish the hole diameter for this code; if you have already chosen the lights, write to us and we will verify the measurement on the part before you place your order.

Are the spotlights and brackets included?

No. Spotlights, spotlight mounts, top case, and plates visible in the images are for demonstration purposes and must be purchased separately. The package includes the bars and all the hardware needed to install them.

Does a crash bar prevent damage in the event of a fall?

It reduces damage; it does not eliminate it. In tip-overs from a standstill and parking impacts, which are the most frequent causes of damage on a scooter, it moves the contact point outside the fairings, but the outcome depends on speed, angle, and surface. LOBOO does not publish load tests for this product code, so we do not claim impact-resistance thresholds.

How much does the scooter weigh, and how wide is it?

LOBOO does not specify either the weight or the added width, so we do not publish them. If you need this information, we can measure the kit in stock and provide it to you before ordering.

Does it interfere with a top case or other accessories already installed?

In the LOBOO installation images, the kit is mounted on an ADV 350 already equipped with a top case and auxiliary lights, and the manufacturer does not report any incompatibility with other accessories. The crash bar operates in the lower area, away from the rear rack plate. If you have a particular setup, send us a photo and we’ll assess it before you place the order.

How do warranty, shipping, and returns work?

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.
