No they both do NOT have any TUEV, and at a guess you will not be able to
get any atleast in Germany,
The reason is that simple:
The TUEV will never allow one fork part to consist of more than one part,
but if you mount the pats from Goetz or Jaspers they consist of two parts -
the normal fork part plus the overlength part srewed into the place of the
fork's cover at the top end. That means you gain a "riscy" point between
the upper and lower fork's bridge where the fork doesn't have it's normal
stability.
They don't care about these parts being used in rallys all over the world
with success :-(
Man, that sounds funny in english, i bed the words choosen for the parts
are wrong but hopefully everbody knows what i mean !
Note according big tanks and TUEV:
You can get a "Druckgutachten" (proof about certain pressure stability of
the tank) for them and with the help of that paper the TUEV will enter them
in your bike's papers.
Have fun,
JJ
