Words to live by, I believe. Good will is much better than an expensive team of lawyers...

Thanks

I just finished reading the last four pages of this thread, interesting to say the least. Both gear sets seem to have their advantages.

I'll start my questions with the SE gear set.
1. Does it require a speedometer calibration box?

In response to the reference made to the 3.37 gear ratio.
1. Did you change to this ratio?
2. What was it originally?
I ask as my bike is 3.37 stock and can afford to give up a little low end. Thus I was curious what a compensating sprocket change would do for me. AND IF I change the compensating sprocket will it affect the speedometer?

Now the Baker DD6. I understand the direct drive coupled with the compensating sprocket change. What I think I over looked or plain ol' missed was the RPM reduction in the final (6th) gear. As far as that goes what is the drop in RPM's with both the DD6 and SE 6? I'm ultimately after the RPM drop at highway speeds around 80 mph as that seems to be my cruising speed.

Puzzled,

The H-D 6 speed does not require a speedometer recalibration, the Baker does.

Baker offers a 2.94 or a 3.24 first gear ratio. I believe I have a 3.54 now. If so I can give up a little low end.

The sprocket change with the Bakers doesn't matter as one would need a calibration box anyway.

I'm just comparing the two units. AND I'm still undecided/confused! :-? :-/

I've done my research and here is what I currently have.
24 tooth compensating sprocket
37 tooth clutch sprocket
32 tooth transmission sprocket
70 tooth rear wheel sprocket

1.541 Primary drive ratio (engine to transmision)
2.1875 Final drive ratio (transmission to rear wheel)
3.372 Overall drive ratio

Changing to a 28 tooth compensating sprocket
1.321 Primary drive ratio
2.1875 Final drive ratio
2.890 Overall drive ratio

That overall gear ratio drop is pretty substantial.

I found myself a Baker DD6. A big thanks to Fab Kevin as he hooked me up with a sweet deal on the trans.

I didn't forget it. I also ordered the Twisted F*** shirt to wear when I'm not around my kids! I'm guessing two weeks before it's here. Baker said it will be a week before it leaves there. I'll plan accordingly and get my miscellaneous gaskets together. I'm undecided whether to install the automatic chain tensioner or not at the same time. ::)

Do you guys really think the HD 6-Speed is needed?  What RPM's does the bike drop down to with the HD 6 Speed vice the stock 5 Speed - let's say at 80 mph?
