Description LOBOO CHG901 Crash Bar for Husqvarna Norden 901 up to 2025 | 304 stainless steel, black or silver

The CHG901 is the LOBOO crash bar for the Husqvarna Norden 901, made of 304 stainless steel with a Ø 25 mm tube and 2 mm wall thickness. It protects the side fairings and the side of the engine while following the motorcycle’s lines, without the cage-like appearance of universal products: LOBOO states that it developed it using the vehicle’s original data.

Before ordering, check the year. LOBOO product images show the wording Compatible with Husqvarna Norden 901 ( -2025) below the code: compatibility extends through model year 2025. The manufacturer’s product page lists 2023 as the starting year, so the stated range is 2023–2025. If you have a 2022 Norden or one from 2026 onward, contact us before ordering: LOBOO does not declare compatibility for those model years.

The kit consists of two bars, right and left, and two connecting brackets. It is available in two finishes that differ only in appearance: satin silver with the stainless steel exposed, achieved through sandblasting and electropolishing, or satin black with electrostatic painting. The material, dimensions, and mounting points are identical.

Installation uses the mounting points already present on the motorcycle, with no drilling or modifications to the original structure: once removed, the Norden returns exactly to its original condition. LOBOO states that the welds are neat and strong, including at visible points, but it does not publish load tests for this code, so we do not specify impact-resistance limits: a crash bar reduces damage from a fall; it does not eliminate it.

One clarification worth noting. This bar covers the upper area and the side. If you are looking for protection for the lower section, sump, and engine cases, the solution is the CHG222 crash bar kit with a 4 mm aluminum skid plate for the KTM 790 and 890 Adventure and the Norden 901: it covers a different area and can be combined with this bar.

LOBOO does not state the weight, the included hardware, or the tightening torques for this code. If you need them, we can verify them in stock before the order. Endurrad is a retailer, not the manufacturer.

Why choose it
  • Developed using original vehicle data:follows the sleek lines of the Norden 901 instead of superimposing itself like a universal cage.
  • 304 stainless steel:Ø 25 mm tube with 2 mm wall, resistant to impact, rust, and corrosion.
  • Lossless mounting:attaches to existing points, no drilling or modifications to the original structure.
  • Double finish:satin silver with visible stainless steel, or satin black with electrostatic powder coating.
  • Tidy welds:structural rigidity and a refined finish even on visible points.
Who is it recommended for

This crash bar is recommended if with your Norden 901:

  • You travel and engage in adventure use,where a low-speed fall can damage fairings and engine.
  • You ride light off-roadwith low-speed tip-overs and slides.
  • You want to maintain the aestheticwithout sacrificing protection, by choosing a finish that matches your bike.

If you are looking for protection for the lower engine area, oil pan, and crankcase, the correct solution is the crash bar kit with a 4mm aluminum skid plate for KTM 790-890 Adventure and Norden 901, which covers a different area and can be combined with this bar.

Check the year of your Norden before entering the code

Check the year of your Norden before entering the code

LOBOO prints compatibility on its own product image: Husqvarna Norden 901 (-2025). The hyphen comes before the number, so it means through model year 2025, not starting from that year.

The manufacturer's page indicates 2023 as the starting year: the stated range is 2023–2025. For a 2022 Norden or one from 2026 onward, contact us before ordering.

Two bars, right and left, plus two connecting brackets. The manual’s parts list contains 21 items in total, including bushings, spacers, M8 screws from 20 to 80 mm, four M6 screws, and an assembly wrench.

There is no need to buy anything separately to install it.

The bar runs along the fairing and descends along the engine side, where a Norden rests when it tips over while stationary or slides at low speed.

LOBOO states that it designed it using the vehicle’s original data. However, it does not publish load tests, so we do not specify strength thresholds: a crash bar reduces damage but does not eliminate it.

Choose silver if you want the stainless steel to be visible

Choose silver if you want the stainless steel to be visible

The silver finish is exposed 304 stainless steel, satinized through sandblasting and electropolishing. It stands out against the Norden’s dark livery and is corrosion-resistant.

Code CHG901SL. The material, dimensions, and mounting points are identical to the black version; only the appearance differs.

Choose black if you want it to disappear

Choose black if you want it to disappear

The black finish is satin, achieved through electrostatic coating over the same 304 stainless steel. It blends with the frame and dark plastics without standing out.

Code CHG901BK. It’s the choice for those who don’t want the protection to alter the motorcycle’s lines.

Mount without drilling, but factor in the disassembly.

The bar attaches to the mounting points already present on the motorcycle: once removed, the Norden returns exactly to its original condition. The manual describes eight steps, three for removal and five for installation.

Some screws and the lower guard must be removed, then reinstalled to the torque specifications specified by Husqvarna. Final tightening torque is 12 N·m for the M6 fasteners and 20 N·m for the M8 fasteners.

Make sure it works with the suitcases you already have

The installation images show the Norden already equipped with pannier racks, side cases, and a top case. The bar works in the front and side area, away from the rear racks.

The cases, top case, and auxiliary lights visible in the photos are not included in the kit.

Use the bar to carry an extra bag

Use the bar to carry an extra bag

In the LOBOO images, the bar supports a crash bar bag secured to the tube with straps: extra space for tools, gloves, or an inner tube, without touching the main luggage.

The bag is not included. If you're interested, write to us and we'll point you to the models suitable for the Ø 25 mm tube.

Add lower protection only if you need it

Add lower protection only if you need it

This bar covers the upper area and the side. The oil pan and sump remain exposed: if you do serious off-roading, the lower section is where the rocks hit.

For that area on the Norden 901, there is the CHG222 kit with a 4 mm aluminum skid plate, which covers a different area and pairs with this bar.

Look at the finished Norden from the side

Look at the finished Norden from the side

A crash bar changes the bike’s lines more than you might expect, and on a Norden with its clean styling, it shows.

It’s worth looking at it from the side before deciding between black and silver: they look like two different bikes at first glance.

Add inflatable bags to your crash bars

Add inflatable bags to your crash bars

The bars you’re about to install do more than just protect: they’re already the ready-made mounting points for LOBOO Wanderer inflatable bags. A pair of 6-liter bags, each waterproof to IPX7, with keyed anti-theft locks and a stated capacity of 300 kg per inflated bag.

They inflate when you set off and deflate when you return: carry what you need without installing frames or leaving permanent bulk along the side of the motorcycle. Make use of the Ø 25 mm tube you already have and go fully equipped.

FAQs

For more information, please see our FAQ.

Which model years of the Norden 901 does it fit?

The LOBOO installation manual states “Husqvarna Norden 901 (-2025)”: compatibility extends through model year 2025. The manufacturer’s product page lists 2023 as the starting year, so the stated range is 2023–2025. If you have a 2022 Norden or one from 2026 onward, contact us before ordering.

What do I find in the package?

The manual’s parts list includes 21 items: the right and left bars, two right and left brackets, spacers and bushings, M8 screws measuring 20 to 80 mm, four 30 mm M6 screws, M6 and M8 washers, a self-locking nut, and an assembly wrench. Nothing else needs to be purchased.

What’s the difference between the black and silver finishes?

Only the appearance. Silver is exposed stainless steel, satin-finished by sandblasting and electropolishing; black has a satin finish from electrostatic painting. The material, dimensions, geometry, and mounting points are identical; only the codes differ: CHG901SL for silver and CHG901BK for black.

Do you need to drill or modify the motorcycle?

No. LOBOO states that it mounts to the original mounting points: once the bar is removed, the Norden returns exactly to its original condition. However, the manual does require temporarily removing some bolts and the lower guard, which must be reinstalled using the torque specifications provided by Husqvarna.

How difficult is the assembly?

The manual describes eight steps: three for removal and five for installation. It is faster than other crash bars in the range, but it is still a job to take your time with and keep a torque wrench close at hand.

What torque specifications should I use?

12 N·m for M6 screws and 20 N·m for all M8 screws. LOBOO advises not to fully tighten during assembly, to complete the adjustments first, and to tighten in sequence only at the end, as well as to periodically check the tightness of all components.

What material is it made of?

304 stainless steel, with a Ø 25 mm tube and a 2 mm wall. 304 stainless steel withstands corrosion well, a tangible advantage if the motorcycle stays outside or is ridden in winter on salted roads. LOBOO states that the welds are neat and strong, with care taken even at visible points.

Does this bar also protect the oil pan and engine casing?

No, it covers the upper area and the side. For the lower section, you need a kit with a skid plate: for the Norden 901, the solution is the CHG222, with a 4 mm aluminum plate that covers a different area and can be paired with this bar.

Can I mount auxiliary spotlights on it?

LOBOO does not specify preconfigured mounting points for spotlights for this code, and we do not state that it does. In the installation images, the spotlights are mounted elsewhere on the motorcycle and are not part of the kit. If you have a solution in mind using clip-on brackets for a Ø 25 mm tube, write to us and we’ll evaluate it together.

Can I mount a crash bar bag on it?

In LOBOO images, the bar is shown with a crash bar bag secured to the tube with straps. The bag is not included and must be purchased separately: if you’re interested, write to us and we’ll recommend models suitable for the Ø 25 mm tube.

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

It reduces damage; it does not eliminate it. It moves the point of contact away from the fairings 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 state impact-resistance thresholds.

How much does it weigh?

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.

Does it interfere with panniers, racks, or other accessories?

In LOBOO installation images, the bar is mounted on a Norden already equipped with pannier racks, side cases, and a top case, and the manufacturer does not indicate any incompatibility. It works in the front and side areas, away from the rear racks. If you have a specific setup, send us a photo and we’ll assess it before you place your 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.
