LOBOO CHG281 Crash Bar for Honda CB500X and CB400X | 304 stainless steel, complete or single set

All three installation manuals and the parameter panel indicate the same two motorcycles: HONDA CB500X (2019–) and HONDA CB400X (2021–), meaning from those years onward with no upper limit. The two Hondas share the same chassis, which is why a single code covers both.

The complete set includes four bars and covers both the upper area around the tank and the engine side. The lower bars alone protect the engine casing and engine side, which is where the motorcycle makes first contact in a slow-speed fall. The upper bars alone cover the tank and upper fairings.

If you want to spread out the cost, the most common choice is to start with the lower bars and add the upper ones later.

Yes, they are sold as separate items, and LOBOO provides a dedicated manual for each one. Please note that the complete set has its own parts list, including a long through-bolt that connects the two sides: if you buy the two halves separately, you will receive the hardware specified for each configuration.

If you plan to purchase the complete set, contact us before ordering and we’ll help you determine the most cost-effective option.

No: it attaches to the existing mounting points on the frame, with no cutting, drilling, or welding, and in some places the motorcycle’s original screws are reused. Once the bars are removed, the CB returns exactly to its original condition, which matters when it comes time to resell it.

Yes, and it should be read before working on the motorcycle. For the complete LOBOO kit, first remove the screws marked in green and install the right and left mounting brackets, and only then remove the screws marked in blue and the original aluminum spacers: this prevents the engine from dropping while you work.

The manual also specifies tightening the short screws first and the long one that passes through the engine only at the end. If you have any doubts, write to us before starting.

It depends on the configuration. The complete set contains 20 items: four bars, three mounting brackets, spacers, M6, M8, and M10 hardware, washers, one nut, two rubber caps, and threadlocker. The upper set alone contains 16 items, while the lower set contains 9.

Some of the mounting screws are the motorcycle’s original screws and are reused. Rubber bumpers, cases, and accessories visible in the images are not included.

Yes. The specified torque values are four and very different from one another: 60 N·m for the M10×1.25, 40 N·m for the M10×25, 28 N·m for the M8×40, and 12 N·m for the M6×20. Do not estimate them by feel; some of these screws are fitted at engine mounting points. Threadlocker is included and must be applied before final tightening.

The manuals for this code do not document dedicated mounting points for spotlights, and LOBOO does not specify any. If you are interested in adding them, contact us before ordering: we will check on the actual item what can be done without universal clamps, which tend to rotate on the tube due to vibrations.

A crash bar reduces the damage from a fall; it does not eliminate it. LOBOO does not publish load tests for this code, so we do not state impact-resistance thresholds: that would be an invented number. After an impact, check that the bars are not deformed and are not resting against the fairings, radiator, or engine.

No. LOBOO explicitly states that the crash bars shown in the images are for illustrative purposes only and must be purchased separately. They are nevertheless recommended: in a scrape, the crash bar gets marked and can be replaced for a few euros, instead of ending up with a scratched tube.

Only the surface treatment differs. The silver finish is sandblasted and electropolished, leaving the steel exposed; the black finish is electrostatically painted. Beneath the finish, the material is the same 304 stainless steel, and the dimensions, fittings, and package contents are identical.

304 stainless steel, with a Ø 25 mm tube and a 2 mm wall thickness. It’s the same material beneath and above the finish, so when the surface treatment wears away, rust doesn’t start as it would on a painted tube.

LOBOO does not state the weight of this code in any of the three manuals, and we prefer not to publish an estimate. If you need this information, contact us: we will weigh it in our warehouse in the configuration you are interested in and tell you the actual value.

Yes: all LOBOO products sold by Endurrad are covered by the 24-month statutory conformity warranty for consumers provided under Italian law, and in the event of a defect, we handle the claim with the manufacturer.

You also have the right to return the product within 14 days of receiving the last item in your order: the product must be intact and in its original packaging.
