LOBOO CHG082 Tank Crash Bar for BMW R 1250 GS Adventure | 304 stainless steel, Ø 25 mm tube

Only for the Adventure from 2019 onward. The CHG082 is designed around the larger 30-liter tank, which the standard GS does not have: the geometry of the front section is different. For the regular R 1250 GS, the relevant item is the CHG08.

The upper section of the motorcycle: the fuel tank, fairing, and front superstructure. On the Adventure, the tank protrudes farther laterally than on the standard GS, so when the stationary motorcycle tips over, it is among the first surfaces to make contact—and it is also one of the most expensive parts to replace.

The CHG082 is an upper crash bar: it covers the tank and upper section, not the cylinder heads or engine covers. LOBOO designed it to be paired with its own lower crash bars for complete protection. If your main priority is engine protection, the lower crash bar comes first.

No. LOBOO describes the installation as non-destructive: the bar attaches to the existing frame mounting points, with no cutting or modifications to the original structure. Once removed, the motorcycle returns to its stock condition, which matters when it comes time to resell it.

304 stainless steel, Ø 25 mm tube with a 2 mm wall, featuring a sandblasted and matte electropolished finish. On a bar designed to take impacts and stone strikes, stainless steel makes a tangible difference compared with painted steel: the material is the same beneath and above the surface, so a chip remains a cosmetic mark and does not trigger rust.

No: the CHG082 is available in the catalog only in a silver finish, obtained through sandblasting and electrolysis, with a matte appearance. Unlike other LOBOO crash bars, this code is not available in a black electrostatic-painted version.

Yes: the structure has pre-drilled holes for the auxiliary lights, so there is no need for universal clamps tightened around the tube. The dedicated brackets are LOBOO CWJ082, which are sold separately with the spotlights in Italy.

No, LOBOO states this explicitly on its technical panel: the spotlight bracket and spotlight must be purchased separately. The package includes the bars and mounting hardware. The dedicated bracket is the LOBOO CWJ082 item.

2,268 kg, as stated by the LOBOO technical panel. The price list also reports a gross weight of 3.5 kg for the shipping package, including packaging.

The tube is Ø 25 mm with a 2 mm wall thickness. This is the standard size for LOBOO crash bars, so accessories designed for 25 mm tubes—including crash bar bags—fit securely. However, check the available space, as this bar sits in the tank area rather than the lower section.

LOBOO does not publish a list of compatible or incompatible accessories. The bar operates in the tank area, so the most likely interference concerns tank bags, GPS mounts, and auxiliary lights that are already installed. If you have any of these, contact us before ordering.

It helps limit damage in low-speed falls and tip-overs while the motorcycle is stationary, which account for the vast majority of incidents on a loaded adventure bike. It is not a certified safety device, is not designed for high-speed impacts, and does not replace the rider’s protective gear.

LOBOO does not publish a manual with tightening times and torque specifications for this code. Since it mounts to the existing frame mounting points, it is a job within the reach of anyone with the right tools and patience: for the torque specifications, refer to BMW’s instructions for the relevant bolts and use a torque wrench.
