Magazines that farkle?

Are there any motorcycle magazines that regularly cover non-style-
oriented user-modificatons to motorcycles? Stuff like heated-grip liners
and bicycle computers?

I was discussing fiddling with the carbs and such on my Bandit 1200S,
when a friend suggested that instead of taking my bike for a dyno run
after every change, I could just install a wide-band oxygen sensor
instead. Then, I could directly measure my air-fuel ratio in actual
riding conditions.

Pretty freakin' cool, I said. But pretty freakin' expensive, too.

Well, suggested said friend, if I can find a magazine interested in an
article on installing and using such a thing (I recently got a Writing
Certificate in Journalism from UC), he thinks he can get it for me at a
substantial discount.

You see, said friend runs a company that makes data loggers for amature
racers. Little black boxes that can record all kinds of gnifty
information, not only on engine performance, but also on suspension
performance, brake performance, and indeed anything to which you can
attached a sensor. They have a pretty good market in car racing and
tractor pulls, but not much in motorcycles.

Indeed, if I can find a magazine interested in an article on installing
and using a data logger on a motorcycle, he might be able to set me up
with some of his equipment for a substantial discount.

I picked up a few moto magazines off a local newsstand, to see where I
might send some query letters. But of the U.S. magazines I've seen, none
of them really get into unser-modifications of motorcycles, outside of
what you can put yet more chrome onto.

So, can anyone out there recommend any mags that might be interested in
an article on installing and using a wide-band oxygen sensor and a data
logger on a motorcycle?
