Aluminum side cases with racks for BMW S 1000 XR

The side cases with the JP062B frames are declared by the manufacturer for the S 1000 XR from 2021 onward. If yours is earlier, the frame is not the right one. There is an additional condition for the top case: it can only be mounted if the motorcycle has a specific type of original tail section, and it cannot be installed with the other type. If you have any doubts, send us a photo of the tail section before ordering.

No. The frames use the original mounting points of the S 1000 XR. Standard workshop tools are required, along with adherence to the tightening torques specified in the installation instructions.

It depends on the configuration. Versions with frames already include the JP062B side mount. If you purchase the cases only, the frame must be added; it is a discontinued part available only while supplies last. The top case requires the JP062W frame and plate.

No, and that is why the set is specific. The inner side of the right pannier is recessed to leave clearance for the exhaust: LOBOO calls this shape the Avoiding Exhaust Design. It is also why the left and right sides are not interchangeable.

No. Configurations with side cases include the two cases and the mounting frames; the top case and its mounting plate are separate. Configurations that include them are explicitly indicated in the variant name.

The LOBOO technical panel lists it as standard equipment for the three-case set. For two-case configurations, we do not state that it is included because the manufacturer does not specify this unambiguously: please ask us to confirm before ordering if it is important to you.

No. In the left lid, there is a fabric organizer pocket with compartments; in the right one, there is a large elastic mesh pocket. Both have scratch-resistant inner lining. The top case has the mesh pocket, like the right one.

LOBOO states that no water gets in, even during a downpour, and that the lock cylinder is designed to be waterproof and dustproof. However, there is no certified IP rating: it does not appear on any panel or in any of the manufacturer’s price lists. If you are transporting electronics or documents, use an additional waterproof bag inside anyway.

LOBOO does not specify a maximum load for each individual case. The reference to use is the maximum permissible load for your S 1000 XR stated in the owner’s manual, bearing in mind that the empty cases alone already weigh six kilograms each, or twelve kilograms per pair, excluding the racks.

No. The hinge has an opening stop that holds the lid at its limit. It’s the detail that prevents the dents you accidentally make yourself in the garage—the most common ones on aluminum cases.

The 45-liter model has more capacity, but it is also larger and heavier: 430 × 380 × 340 mm and 5.8 kg, compared with 423 × 364 × 343 mm and 5.65 kg for the 36. The real difference isn’t the half kilo; it’s how much space the load takes up behind the passenger’s back. If you often carry a full-face helmet, choose the 45; if you use the top case for everyday needs, the 36 keeps the center of gravity more compact.

Only the finish: matte black and polished silver are the two official LOBOO names for the exact same aluminum body, with the same dimensions and weight. In practice, matte black hides light scratches better, while polished silver shows fewer fingerprints. The two finishes do not cost the same: check the variant.

The compartment is lined with an inner lining designed specifically for this purpose. The obvious advice for an aluminum suitcase still applies: items with metal edges should be wrapped, because the lining protects against scratches, not dents.
