economies of scale going with a big order, folks.

I wanted to do a group purchase of Paulchen racks, but couldn't find enough
people willing to pay the $375.00.  I have a Fiamma aluminum rack on order to
check out the mounting and quality.  Fiamma racks should run about $100 less.

If someone wants to order a Paulchen rack, I'm willing to drop the price as
low as I can so I can determine shipping and import costs.  I will also be
looking for someone to test the Fiamma rack as well.  That is if I can't find
a way to mount it on my '74 Westy.
