Hi, I paid just shy off 200€ for the "changeover- check" (?? do not know how it would be called)" and the "classic 2 year" check all together. the latter being around 45-60?€ on its own. You then have to get new papers for your bike which is around another 45€ ....on top of my head.. why not...

Going HV:

From CAD to reality: having a cnc does help a lot :) trial fit
