I don't see any difference, after reading your mail i search through an old
Goetz catalogue and found the parts in there too. From the pictures they
have in there they look exactly the same as the parts which i saw (in
original) at S. Jaspers. To me the price at S.J. looks like a big rippoff.
Material of the back part is just plain steel plus the bearings inside,
material of the pieces for the fork looked like the same as the fork
itself. So i would say from manufacturing side 30,-DM per piece is
estimated the cost.

Be aware of the fact that you have to correct the length of the side stand
if you mount those pieces.

Have fun,
JJ
