Subject: Unoriginal panneling & parts for the AT



There has been a few comments on high prices on original plastic panneling 
for the AT.

During my summertrip to Germany and Austria (3000 km, very nice!), I visited 
Stephan Jaspers at "African Queens" in Reichertshausen north of München. 
This small company ONLY produce and sell special parts for the AT! One of 
the products is glas fiber panneling (could be repaired), one piece in stead 
of the original three. I only saw pictures, they does not look exactly as 
the original (You get a special look on your bike..?). They come with dim 
white priming, ready for painting. I do not remember the price, but I got it 
at home if anyone is interested. Or, direct contact on:

African Queens
Stephan & Sylvia Jaspers
Angerhofstrasse 5c
D-85293 Reichertshausen
Tel: 08441/184 42
Fax: 08441/ 184 02
Mobil: 0172 9622 737

Other products I remember:

 - Larger tanks (46l, 56l)
 - Rear tanks (very large...)
 - Different tuning sets, from DM 1990,- and up... Largest/ most expensive: 
850 ccm and a lot of HP on the rear wheel...
 - A Kit to rise the AT for larger ground clearance (for quite tall 
people..?)
 - Alu boxes, special designed if you want to. Brackets could also be 
customized to place the boxes where you want on the bike.
 - Rebuilding your RD07 seat for improved comfort. Any colour, genuine 
leather. Approx. DM 320,- I think. Should be cheaper than Corbin?
 - etc.

Of course this cost money, but "African Queens" is definitely the place to 
start if you want to customize your AT! I saw some really cool pictures of 
an AT (havily cusomized) from the Dakar rally! Have fun!
Stephan told me he was going to place all his info on the Net, so keep 
searching!
Just to assure you all: I do not have any economical or other interests in 
"African Queens".

Does anyone have experience with products from this company?

Micha: As I remember you got the company name & address at your AT homepage. 
As you can see from the above, they have changed their fax number!
