LOBOO CHS081 – Aluminum Handguards for BMW GS with Adjustable Deflector

No. The manufacturer’s images show handguards with integrated LED turn signals, but these are a separate accessory and are not included in the package.

There are two versions: one universal and one specifically for the R 1300 GS, which preserves the functionality of the bike’s original integrated turn signals. If you have the R 1300 GS and are interested, write to us: choosing the right version matters.

Twelve models in the GS range: F750GS from 2018, F800GS from 2025, F850GS from 2018, F850GS Adventure from 2019, F900GS and F900GS Adventure from 2025, R1200GS from 2013 and R1200GS Adventure from 2014, R1250GS from 2018 and R1250GS Adventure from 2019, R1300GS and R1300GS Adventure from 2023.

A useful clarification: the printed manual included in the package dates from December 2024 and lists only seven models because it predates the compatibility expansion. If you open the box and do not find your motorcycle in that list, it is not a shipping error. The list above is the distributor's updated version.

For the R1200GS, the relevant models are the liquid-cooled versions from 2013 onward. If you are unsure about your configuration, write to us with the model and year.

The transparent extension above the shield moves between two heights and can also be removed entirely. Use the high position in winter and on the highway, where more protection is needed; the low position when you want more air on your hands; remove it in summer or off-road, where a cleaner profile is preferable. It can be adjusted in one minute without tools.

No drilling: the installation is entirely bolt-on and uses the existing mounting points. However, the motorcycle’s original handguards must be removed, along with the mirrors, which are reinstalled once the job is complete.

Don’t throw away the original handlebar-end weight: reinstall it on top of the handguard bracket using the supplied spacer. If you ever want to remove the CHS081s, the motorcycle returns to exactly how it was.

The manufacturer does not comment on this point, so we do not state it. BMW heated grips are standard or available as an accessory on many of the models listed, and the two-point mounting uses the end of the handlebar: if you are unsure about your configuration, send us the model and year before ordering and we will check it together.

LOBOO produces two due kits, each consisting of four amber LEDs per turn signal, which fit into the recess already provided in the body of these handguards. The CZXD081 is the universal version, intended for motorcycles with turn signals in the standard positions. The CZXD131 is the version for the BMW R 1300 GS, which has the front turn signals integrated into the headlight assembly: for this motorcycle, the manufacturer expressly recommends the dedicated part number.

The practical difference lies in the wiring: on the CZXD131, the adapter cable ends in a connector, while on the CZXD081 it ends in loose red and black wires that must be connected by identifying the correct points in the electrical system. In both cases, the connection is the responsibility of the installer, and LOBOO does not provide a wiring diagram. They cost the same.

Because a handguard mounted only at the handlebar end twists and vibrates. With a second attachment at the clamp, the structure becomes a triangle: it stays stable at highway speeds and better withstands side impacts. That’s the difference between a decorative handguard and one that truly protects the levers.

The high-strength aluminum alloy body and side impact bumpers are designed to absorb accidental impacts and light sliding contact, keeping the levers from direct contact with the ground. No handguard can guarantee lever integrity in a serious crash; the practical advantage here is that after an impact, you replace only the damaged individual part instead of the entire handguard.

Yes, but you need a torque wrench. The manual specifies precise torques: 25 N·m for the M10 bolt, 20 N·m for the M8 bolt, 10 N·m for the handlebar guard clamp, and 1.5 N·m for the six M4 bolts. Threadlocker is included and must be applied to all bolts except the M10.

The procedure involves removing the original mirrors and hand guards, installing the clamps and guards without fully tightening them, and reinstalling the original handlebar counterweight on top of the bracket with the supplied spacer. If you don't have a torque wrench or aren't familiar with handlebar controls, ask a workshop for help.

For the models listed, the dimensions are those specified by the manufacturer, and no interference has been reported. If you have installed a larger windshield or aftermarket mirrors, after installation turn the handlebars fully to both sides and check that nothing makes contact: it takes ten seconds and is always worth doing.

Each handguard measures 306.2 mm in length, 126.3 mm in shield height, and 200.3 mm in lateral extension. These dimensions were measured manually by the manufacturer, so there may be a tolerance of a few millimeters. LOBOO does not state the weight.

Yes, and it’s one of the project’s strengths: the shield, deflector, clamps, brackets, bow, and pads are separate components that can each be replaced individually. The package lists sixteen distinct items. If you need a replacement part, write to us indicating the part and motorcycle model.

Yes, and this is actually when the adjustable deflector is most effective. On the road, the enemy isn’t branches but cold wind and rain on your hands: with the extension in the raised position, you can feel the difference in winter, and in summer you can remove it in a minute. They also protect the levers from insects and stones kicked up by other vehicles.

Water and mild soap, with a soft cloth. On the transparent deflector, avoid solvents and harsh products, which can dull the plastic, and do not use dry cloths on dusty surfaces because they can scratch them. After the first few rides, check the tightness of the clamps again.
