It sounds like a great idea and I was wondering how it rode

 

i was looking at that in J&P Cycle too. Damn, $2000!

 

They only have trannys that fit years from 1991- 2003. and $2600 just for the tranny in a box.

 

anyone have one?

 

I've had Bakers in the past. Not the 6 speed and not in a sporty but the trans is night and day nicer than stock. Smooth shifts and always find N. I will be doing another in my FLSTCI soon, well, that is as soon as I can get finished with the other mods.

 

I have never rode one with the Baker trans. I love 6-speeds, but for that amount of money I will be just fine with 5-speeds.

 

I have ridden 96"ers with the Baker 6 in it. They are nice to have, more gears = more fun... $2000 worth though- I dunno. That is a lot of custom paint and add on toys, IMO. Unless you just ran across a sick deal on one, I would pass and use the loot for some more appreciatable mods. Just my stupid $.02 worth.

 

Go Up 2 teeth on the front sprocket and save $1900 bucks,,,,
Besides,,thats one of the things I like most about my 1200R,,
I got Power all over the tach,,,
not as much shifting XD

 

has anyone done this install? I am think about picking up a evo just to do a six speed swap so I can build a highway cruiser.

 

My 2008 sportster 1200C came with the 6 speed tranny stock. Its like having overdrive, i shift into 6th around 55-60 mph. To be honest its my first Harley so i cant compare it to a 5 speed.
It certainly would save on fuel consumption on long cruises.
