TUV and BSI for ...

No where at moment Blackster but a KBC/HJC is a 99.9 % exact match inside for fit - of all the mail order ones I have sold everyone tried on one of those two and ordered equivalent size from me and there has been no problems at all

Because we test differently, ie spike test (we apparently have a lot of spikes in oz).
