Hey Chip

I have one, was it worth it - I don't know - but I wanted it so in the end I think so. Plus it will allow me to change my overall ratio over the winter, and when I do that I think I will enjoy it even more.

If Nancy thinks it is for here - go for it.


Thanks Duane!

Chip was questioning making a 5 into a 6 speed. The DD7 is for existing 6 speeds.

The Baker DD7, Direct Drive 7-Speed is being developed as a direct replacement of the Cruise Drive Harley-Davidson factory 6-speed to improve it in many ways besides just adding another gear

It was my understanding that Chip created a wish list and added the 6 speed. Since it is a wish list, I was suggesting he consider the DD7. At the time I had not considered that it would only work for an existing Cruise Drive 6 speed.

My bike has been to the west coast a couple of times along with a buddy riding a 6 speed CVO, not much difference in milage over the entire trip each time.  Save the money if she is OK with the 5 speed and buy more accessories.
