To any particular address?  I checked the lists page but didn't see 
an address to see a FP to.

That's understandable.  HTML mail is the worst thing since female 
shoe sales at the mall. ;-)  Signup for the cruisercustomizing.com 
newsletter.  Great place to find and review motorcycle parts. :)

Sound pretty slick.  If I come across any more legit newsletters, 
I'll send them your way.

Thanks for the info
