Zieger parts and accessories

European distributor Motorcycle Storehouse ( Groningen , Netherlands ) has added the custom parts programme from Zieger in Germany to its inventory . The business was started in 2005 by Frank Zieger , but has since grown into a big player in the high-end motorcycle accessories market . Parts include radiator covers , engine guards / crash bars , side stand feet / shoes , chain guards and licence plate brackets machined from aluminium or stainless steel for a stronger , nicer and exclusive custom appearance - " where many replacement parts and the OE designs are made from plastic , the Zieger replacements are definitely an upgrade from the original . Some of the parts , like radiator covers , crash bars to protect the fairing , tank or engine , may not even be installed as original . " These parts are available as custom safety and protection upgrades , but will still allow a bolt-on installation to stock mounting points without modifications ". All parts are available for a large selection of BMW , Honda , Kawasaki , Suzuki , Yamaha and Triumph models .
Twin Air has released a Powerflow filter kit for Honda ' s updated CRF450R - Honda intends for the model to compete in the MXGP Championship in 2021 and initial market reaction to the lighter , stronger framed Dakar winner suggests that it will be an even better seller than before . A unique feature of the newly developed bike is the upside-down air filter placement - the filter position better prevents dirt from bulking up on the filter . Twin Air has developed its easy install new filter kit in cooperation with Honda ' s MXGP teams . A replacement for the OEM filter system , it is proven to increase performance with a larger filter surface in comparison to the OEM filter to create additional airflow and protection . A lightweight aluminium ring that is sealed with a rubber O-ring replaces the heavier OEM backfire sealing ring design . The
