how many 52 hand shift were made

[Chris Haynes]

yes chris exactly like that but that is a lower number and no one i've talked to believes any were actually produced without loops and i've looked at over 30 1936's with a lower vin and all had sidecar loops. the pic you show is a 1935 prototype of a 36 and the motor number 36el1288 with partial frame has sidecar loops

Although it is a 1935 it is not a prototype. It was one of the early full production models before 1935 production was halted for redesign and retooling. It is serial number 35E1003 which is a full production number.
