Anyone done this or think it would be worth the money and performance to change to it?

You'd be shifting non-stop. Isn't 6 speeds enough?

I agree. I feel like I have to shift all the time with the CruiseDrive 6 as it is.
Spoke to the Baker guys at The Baker booth about the DD7. They've dropped 1st gear a bit lower and made all the gears a bit closer together. 7th is still a 1:1 ratio in the tranny, I think.
Bottom line, I think you'll be shifting more a lower speeds... in addition to already shifting more at cruising speeds (compared to a 5-speed).
I'm a bit leery...

They have to do soemthing to distinguish themselves from the mother ship or they no longer have a product offering for the newer bikes. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean they don't have to offer it.

There is always some poor smuck who just can't resist the urge in spending thousands of dollars on a non essential part :2vrolijk_21:

You're just mad because you broke yours 17 times :huepfenlol2: .
(fortunately I have never broken a transmission!)

Thanks guys, that was my feeling. Wanted to see if everyone felt the same.

I was going to say, bikes are going to sound like 16 wheelers with that many gears! ;D

I read about it in this months V-Twin , I 'm quite happy with my 6 , the only thing I'd like to dump is the whine , which isn't really that bad. I think the gear spacing is great , much better than the last 2 5 speeds I had ( a 3.37 and a 3.15)

If you want to get rid of the 5th gear whine, Baker has a product called F6F (see http://www.bakerdrivetrain.com/cruisedrive/index.htm#f6f (http://"http://www.bakerdrivetrain.com/cruisedrive/index.htm#f6f")). It replaces the stock straight-cut gears for 5th with helical cut gears. It also includes a new tranny door and bearings and so forth to beef up the CruiseDrive 6.
If that's not enough for you, Baker also has the F6R which will adds a reverse gear to the CruiseDrive 6.
Thanks!
