New American Iron magazine article by Chris Maida says Baker is coming out with a 7 speed trans upgrade for 07 bikes.Says shiffters and all are mounted on tranny door.

 

cool... but I'm pretty happy with 6!

 

This is the most info I saw http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2008/03...-transmission/At what point does changing 1st gear go before it becomes useless?and someone still only has 6 practical gears.
The Harley-Davidson factory 6-speed ratios are: 1st (3.34), 2nd (2.30), 3rd (1.71), 4th (1.41), 5th (1.18), 6th (1.00). The Baker DD7 transmission will have the following ratios : 1st (3.76), 2nd (2.75), 3rd (2.06), 4th (1.55), 5th (1.27), 6th (1.10), 7th (1.00). They say it will be quieter than the DD6. I have a DD6 and not sure how it will be much quieter

 

Got too much bank in my DD6...I'll pass.

But hell, I don't think it'd fit my scoot anyway.

 

Keep going and you will need an onboard aircompressor soon.........

to operate the 13 speed air shifter likeyou have in big trucks!!!!

 

WTF???Hell i'll take a ten speed then.Oh i hope i dont get ran off the road or end up under a truck trying to find the right gear!!!!!Useless IMO

 

They are the same width as a SE 6 speed.

The pre 02 bikes will benefit from these as the gearing was different on the 01 bikes. I run a DD6 on my 01 and it still turns some rpms at 80+ mph. Another gear wouldn't hurt me at all.
