Baker 6 speed in 03 Heritage Classic

[Acbaker64]

I have just completed 1500 miles on a new Baker DD6 on a stock 03 Heritage and report the following: great tranny, smooth, quiet. Runs well in 6th over 70 mph. Great buy with 5 yr 50k warranty!

Did you need to do any modifications to the bike or is it a bolt in swap?

also! did you notice any gas milage change. and did you do the work yourself?

The DD6 is a direct drive transmission did you add the larger compensating sprocket to get the lower RPM in 6th?

It is a bolt in transmission, no mods required. I did not do the work, I have a great Indy shop. I went with the 28 tooth to keep 1 thru 5 the same. The bike will accelerate well in 6th over 70 mph. Slight increase in gas mileage when highway driving, no change around town.

Thanks for the update. Food for thought.

I have a 2005 Electra Glide, and had installed the Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle 6 speed. No modes at all. I installed the kit. Use the same tranny case just install new guts. Works great. Really tell a difference on the highway. I use to curse 70 mph at close to 3000 rpm. Now it is 80 at almost 3000 rpm.
