The DD6 door comes with or without an ear. This fee does not apply to BAKER Softail assemblies, BAKER 6N4 assemblies, or BAKER 4-speeds.Īll DD6 bearing doors have the same outer profile as a stock 5 speeds so exhaust brackets, torque arms etc. This fee is in addition to listed complete assembly prices. Effective June 3, BAKER will charge a $695 reclamation fee for all pre-2007 complete transmission assemblies. Case finish is inspected and all threaded holes are chased. Gasket surfaces are re-taped with temperature-resistant masking products and fresh powder coat is applied. Prepped case is media blasted with aluminum oxide psi to prep surfaces for new powder coat 5. Factory paint is chemically removed and all gasket surfaces taped off with blast-proof masking products. Dimensional certification of key dimensions and positional attributes. To continue offering complete transmission assemblies for pre-2007 models, BAKER has instituted a transmission case reclamation program in which used cases are procured from the secondary market and restored to a like-new condition. The ear door is for exhaust bracket mounting and does not fit 1993-2006 FL applications.ġ2mm Mainshaft: Call 51 or chat with us via the website to ensure ordering accuracy.Ĭase:All pre-2007 transmission cases have been made obsolete by Harley-Davidson therefore procurement of new transmission cases is no longer possible.
Baker 6 speed harley transmission full#
This yields gear noise in 1st and 5th.The Baker DD7 has a full set of helical gears for quiet operation in every gear. The factory 6-speed has straight cut 1st and 5th gears. This linear roller ball detent is similar to the type first used in Baker TorqueBox transmissions. The DD7 is a big improvement over the factory 6-speed because it incorporates a new linear roller ball detent as part of the supplied Billet Top Cover.
Shift smoothness in the factory 6-speed is a definite improvement over the 5-speed. The DD7 mainshaft is light weight and only includes the small 1st gear as an integral part. That mainshaft is a one-piece design that includes1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. Audible shift clunk in the factory 6-speed is caused by the heavy weight and resultant high inertia of the 1-piece forged mainshaft. In transmission design, be it automotive or motorcycle, low mainshaft weight is always desirable for smooth and quiet shifts. The DD7 has a shorter (numerically larger) 1st gear for easier launches.
1- Factory 1st gear ratio is too tall (numerically too small). The Baker DD7 is being developed as a direct replacement of the Cruise Drive Harley-Davidson factory 6-speed to improve it in many ways. One of the bikes riding around the city and on the I95 was test-equipped with a prototype 7-speed transmission. I was in the confidence during Daytona Bike week.
