I just got an Ultra limited. Love the bike, but being short, in spite of putting the Reach Seat on the bike I have some issues with backing the bike up-- mostly due to the passenger floor boards. I also ride a Gold Wing and love the reverse. So, I was considering looking into putting reverse on the Ultra. Could any one explain the different kits to me and any experiences you've had with different manufacturers? I have read that some kits may cause you lot 'lock up' between reverse and 1st gear. That doesn't sound like a good thing!

Also wondering about the Baker reverse kit. I went to the website and it doesn't look like they have a model for the '09's yet.

There last thing I would ask is what effect it has on warantee? I'm assuming it may void it? Or does harley make a kit that is compatable with the warantee? Thanks for any and all comments.

 

to the top for an answer.

 

Huh??

 

Check the new HD P&A Book, they should list it if they sell one. The HD tri-glide has reverse.

 

What?

 

What's at the top?

Huh

Back to the subject on hand. There are several makers of a reverse for the 6 speed. I have entertained 1 for some time now. I am short also. The tri glide has a electric reverse where the after markets are gear operated.

 

Sounds like man up or ride a gold wing.

 

I appreciate that really helpful answer.

 

ttt take the post back up to the top otherwise it gets buried and won't get answered.

 

Normally the forum speak for this is "Bump" :-)

The Tri-Glide's electric reverse seems to be something they add to the
rear differential - so that is not applicable to your two wheeler ;-)

Just ignore the trolls ;-)
