What is a TÜV
?
TÜV (
Technischer Überwachungs Verein ) is a German inspection institute
controlled by the German government.
They have laws which accessories has to be made and all our
manufactures must follow these laws.
Before an automobile or motorcycle part/accessory can be Street-Legal in
Germany it must be inspected and approved by the German TÜV or Dekra.
For example rear sets: A machine hits 150.000 times the brake, 150.000 times the
shifter under dry, wet, salt water ... conditions. They check for material, strengths, the foot pegs get hit at
least 150.000 times, how it mounts and so on. If the rear sets do not work properly
after all these tests, they will not receive the TÜV certificate and can not be sold in Germany.
These parts are illegal to use on German streets and the police can
confiscate the vehicle without questions ask. Also, points and a
hefty fine.
Other tests for accessories include:
Material-Strength; strength of the mounting hardware; How is the part
mounts to the motorcycle?
Is something in the way; weight; height; width;
handling; high-speed driving; cross-wind and much more.
You will get a German TÜV-certificate with some accessories you get from Wild
Hair Accessories.
After the part
is mounted on your motorcycle the TÜV would inspect the motorcycle, to
make sure it is safe street-legal again. Something like that does not
exist in the United States or other countries. We have to tell you that
the parts are for competition use only and should be installed by a
professional motorcycle dealership. |
Wouldn't it be easier
for me to order the parts direct from Germany ?
By going through Wild
Hair Accessories It will be
much more convenient for you because.
1. Most German companies do not accept credit cards.
2. C.O.D.'s are not available when shipping
overseas.

set up in Germany.
We are able to transfer money directly from our account
to the manufacturers at no additional cost to you.
4. Most German manufactures do not speak English well.
By ordering through Wild
Hair Accessories, you
will save time, money and you get exclusive accessories which you don't see on every corner. |
