Revtech is korean or somecrap like that... Been told repeatedly to stay away from their products.

[ol][*]I also have Spyke in my bagger.[*]I have a 100 ci hotted rev-tech in my ridged with the higher gear ratio .893:1 .[*]I put the lower (8.6:1) one in my FXR, which has a 113 TP. I am going to raise the primary ration as the bike weighs less than 500 lbs.[*]The bagger uses a 124 S&S w/8.6:1 spyke.
[/ol]It is very important to size your gear ration to the power of the motor. I have heard that the Rev-Teck are not good quality and have a higher coefficient of friction than the other trans. I do not know as I have had no problems. As far as a install goes, contact me at my site or post your year and model here. If you look under my <2002 swingarm upgrade, you will se how it is done if you are changing out the case (complete trans).
It is easier to just buy the gears. I have popped in a Softail 6 speed into a bagger trans with no problems. I have seen the gear sets go for as little as $600/new. I do not recommend anything as I am not a knowledgeable driveline person. I do know how to take em' apart and change them out. As far as time goes, to change a complete trans including housing should take no more than 6 hours by me who is not a mechanic & who does not do it every day. I screw off too much in compairson to a real machanic.

RE: six speed trans
Hi Everybody!
Brand new newbie here, just registered now. I've been looking for a decent Harley forum for a while and it looks like I found one. I lurked for about 10 minutes then decided to join. I've been a member of the badweb (buell) forum for a while due to a recent addiction to flogging the hell out of a buell blast.
Something Fast Harley just mentioned has prompted to ask a question. He wrote ". I have popped in a Softail 6 speed into a bagger trans with no problems." Does anyone here have any expertise with Harley transmissions? I've asked dealerships, independant shops, and even managed to get through to a Revtech tech to ask this question and NO ONE has been able to give me an answer. The revtech guy more or less said that almost anything would fit anything, it boils down to getting things like neutral sensors, spedo adapters, and speed sensor spacers, trap doors etc to make it work correctly. Is this true?
What is the difference in Harley Transmissions through the 90's up to 2006? I see overdrive kits for 90 to 2006 dynas and touring. 90 to 98 dynas and touring, some for just dynas, 2001 to 2006 touring, etc. No one offers a case for the 99 and 2000, Some companies kits are for dynas and touring, some not, some include the 99 and 2000 some dont. The overlaps and exclusion are confusing and hard to figure out. Why I'm trying to figure this out is that I had a chance to buy a Screamin' Eagle six speed transmission in a case for a Dyna, for a GREAT price, with the thought of taking the gears out of the case and putting them into my 2000 Road King. Would this have worked? What is the difference between the Dyna trans and the touring trans or the soft tail trans for that matter. What changed to make the 99 and 2000 different from the 98 and down or the 2001 and up?

RE: six speed trans
"I just put in a softail non tapered shaft without keyway into a 2001" Tapered shafts, non tapered shafts, keyways... this is the stuff I wish I knew. I guess the answers I am looking for are:
1, what is unique about the 2000 RK transmission that you see lots of kits (complete transmissions or gearsets) for 98 down and 2001 up?
2, What modifications do I have to do to get a 98-down or 2001-up gear set to fit into my 2000 housing?
3, Can a 2001 complete transmission be modified to fit a 2000 or can the 2000 be modified to accept a complete 2001 or newer Transmission?
I've looked at the Ultima Trans but I don't think they have or list a kit for a 2000 touring bike. Ultimately I would like to get my hands on a SE six speed. I like that they kept the low first gear (everybody else has gone with the close ratio) and my Roadking generally becomes the "pack mule" hauling camping gear and supplies whenever we hit the road.
FastHarley... would a 2001 transmission case help with the rear fork (swingarm) improvement you show on your site? Great site by the way, I'm already budgeting for your kit and a new rear rim. A HID light will be next.
Thanks everybody!

RE: six speed trans
I did it and had no problems. I do not think I will take out the trannie & show it to you in steps so you are going to have to just take my word on it. Straight bolt together. Na screw it, I’m pulling the trannie and will show you the results. I just took these photos and both are mine. BTW, the bottom (well both but you can not see the shaft on my Hardtail) trans is a non-Tapered output shaft.
