Wow there is a 7 speed? Cant see going over 6 myself.

 

I could see one for my old softtail, but dont need one for the new 13 UC unless you plan on setting the cruise @ about 90-100 mph...

 

I'd like to put a 6

speed on my softail

 

The thing about that many gears people don't understand is, it's not just adding another OD gear. It just spreads the pull through closer ratio gears. It makes it seem as though the engine is more powerful because you can stay in the peak of the torque curve. Only drawback is more shifting.... well, it's only a drawback if you don't switching through the gears and hammerin' on the gas.

 

One thing to be clear on it the Baker DD7 does not have an overdrive. The stock 6 speed is also not an overdrive transmission. Both stock 6 speed and Baker 7th are both 1:1. Like it was said that the great ratios are optimized for smoothness and power.

If I had the coin I'd do it!

 

Buddy of mine has one in his Trike and really likes it.

 

the baker has a considerable lower 1-3 that way your not idling in first at 12 mph.a cheeper option would be to lower either the final drive or primary gearing.

 

The only time I use sixth gear is when I go over 75 or Im in 5th most of the time. How fast do you drive that you need one more gear?

 

the one more gear u get ISNT the top gear,its a lower first.7th baker is the same as 6th harley.
