Okay need some help from the experienced riders on this site. I am about sold on purchasing a Baker Direct Drive 6 speed, but want to get some input on which 1st gear ratio I should go with for my FLHTCUSE that is coming in March. The two options are:

DD6 2002-UP FLT-FLH w/ Polished H-D Case 2.94 1st Gear
DD6 2002-up FLT-FLH w/ Polished H-D Case 3.24 1st Gear

I don

Let's see if I get this right:

The larger gear will give you a bit more pull and rev you up sooner, you'll also need to shift up a bit sooner with taller gear...you will get to higher RPMs earler than you will with the smaller gear. It really depends on how you drive and how you like to shift e.g. quick off the line. There's not a huge difference in the two you've noted, but you will notice it in a side by side compare.

The 2.94 is a taller first gear and is probably the prefered 1 out of the 2. The 3.24 is too short a gear its more like a granny gear.
