"Success"...
Must be nice to ride in an area like that.
Type inspections?
In Germany, bernd's bike was only allowed to use a tire only from an approved list.
Is that part of the Type inspection?
Ride safe, Ted
Yeah, Germany has Type Approval laws (TuV) that limits what you can use on your road vehicle.
Only TuV approved parts for your specific vehicle are allowed. That includes engine parts, tyres, brake pads, exhausts, etc.
I believe you can fit any screen, saddle, grips, levers that you want but the list of restricted items is pretty long.
I have a friend who has a ratted GSXR1000 (he crashed it) and every time he rides it to Germany for a rally, everyone there asks him how he gets away with riding it. When he tells them it's UK road legal, they look shocked.
