PRO GuIDe Stein-Dinse adds Zieger accessories German distributor Stein-Dinse is now offering the Zieger range of premium accessories with more than 160 different licence plate brackets and engine protection parts available for over 100 different bikes - "all at extremely favourable reseller conditions. "This latest addition to our range sees us add another premium brand. Zieger is one of the leading specialists in terms of motorcycle accessories and the young, but experienced company is driven by innovation". Founded by Frank Zieger in a familiar motorcycle industry story - frustrated at not being able to find the quality and design of licence plate he wanted for his own bike - the sheet metal bracket that Frank designed and made for himself became the start Interceptor 650 exhaust options Last month we saw a new range of upgrade replacement options for Yamaha's Ténéré 700 from Italian exhaust specialist G.P.R. This month we see the company's new design options for the fast selling Royal Enfield Interceptor - a low cost middleweight that has been internationally well received by test riders, dealers and consumers and one destined to occupy a unique position among Europe's most popular models. Building on the Indian manufacturer's success with its Continental GT and Himalayan, these new parallel twins are a performance engineer's blank canvas just waiting for owners to exploit the custom and performance opportunities offered by this robust Harris Performance developed chassis platform. Seen here are two of the G.P.R. Italia options for the Royal Enfield 650s - the Powercone line and the Vintacone. Both are made in stainless steel, Euro 4 homologated, and form part of the new G.P.R. project to achieve a net zero carbon impact for its production by 2023 with the use of raw materials that are recyclable at end-of-life, with common steel scrap making up 99% by product weight. Delivering a choice of classic or aggressive look, these exhausts are said to provide a 2.5 hp increase over the stock exhausts and a 50% weight saving. "All manufacturers need to take their responsibilities seriously," says owner Mauro Orlandi, "and doing so doesn't mean that increased performance and great looks have to be compromised. "The aesthetics of our designs for the Royal Enfield are perfectly adapted to the classic, naked styling of the Interceptor 650, with an excellent balance of classic aesthetics and our innovative technical solutions such as the removable dB killer for track use and stainless steel coating on the Powercone, a line developed as a result of our MotoGP and SBK experience. It weighs just 1.86 kg, point of a business. Zieger has since grown to be an internationally known and respected company, and when not satisfied by the quality of any part out there on the market, Frank Zieger takes on the challenge of designing and making better. Often there isn't an existing design for the solution he is looking for, so he comes up with his own. From travel gear to assembly stands, Zieger engineers and produces everything they find a need for, with licence plate brackets remaining their most popular product, with design versions to meet the regulatory requirements of all European countries. "All Zieger parts are made in Germany in our own production facility, which means we are able to keep control of quality and price. The range includes parts for many models in various colours," says Frank.
