2007 REVIEW
I had another busy year with four AMCA shows and three other large ones, and two AMCA Board meetings.  In the USA, swap meet attendance seems to have stabilised despite high gasoline prices and Ebay trading, while the US dollar has continued to lose value internationally.

NEW PARTS
Not much left to make, so I’m getting into the four speed gearbox project and would appreciate any leads on used or nos gears and other parts. I’m starting on a VL Book supplement covering the reverse and four speed gearboxes, so any early interest would be appreciated.

2208-31 reverse shifter guide, finished at $130. Also the 1935/6 style 2208-35B with the safety bullet at the rear for $140.

2208-36D Four-speed shifter guide for the optional one-year gearbox. Chromed at $190.


Wishing you safe and happy riding in 2008.
