Does anyone in the US have any experience with getting a custom transmission gear made and by who? I am restoring a 1929 AJS and 2nd gear is really bad. I can make the gear blank but can't cut the gear teeth. Spares for a bike this old do not exist so making one is my only option.

Yes I know I should be asking the question on a Brit bike forum. I have.
 
Where abouts are you?

If in desparation, send it to me with the matching gear and the exact centre distance and I will get a quote for you.

Regards,
Julian
 
I'm not sure he does gearcutting in house, but Chris Cosentino seems a pretty switched on guy.  He's done some funny front ends and is currently building a V4-600 in the hope the Moto2 class goes to an open engine formula.  Surely he can point you to someone if he can't do it himself.  Worth an email.

There is a well respected guy here in the UK who specialises in 1920s bikes called Chris Odling,
his tel No is 00-44-"0" 1852300191. He will probably know which gear you are talking about and if you are lucky he might have one available.
