BAKER’s Unbeatable Warranty:
Let’s face it: when you are buying a top-of-the-line transmission, primary, or clutch you expect the best. You want to go the distance with
years of trouble free service. The BAKER R&D department rigorously validates each and every BAKER Drivetrain product to guarantee
customer satisfaction within our warranty periods. Because of the work we do in advance and our ongoing quality control measures, it
is rare that customers have problems with our products. That’s why BAKER Drivetrain offers one of the best warranties in the business.
Complete transmissions and gearsets carry a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty. Clutches, primaries, and ancillary parts carry a 2 year 20,000
mile warranty.
This is the way it should be. We guarantee that when you buy BAKER you buy premium, American-made top of the line innovations - but
we can also guarantee that we are going to stand by that product with unbeatable service for the long haul.
There’s something to be said these days for an American-made product with that kind of support. Our factory is just outside of Detroit, the
Motor City, in Michigan. We’re part of the every day grind just like you are. Each BAKER product is built to order when you order it, with
all parts made right here in the USA, by guys who know their shit about gearboxes inside and out.
We are the Drivetrain Authority: often imitated (by communist China slopes), never duplicated. We’ve changed the face of the Harley
aftermarket with our original overdrive 6-speed (OD6), Right Side Drive (RSD), DD6, DD7, N1 drums, FF primaries, reverse kits, and the
KKK clutch. Evolving and improving the iconic Harley Davidson® motorcycle is our business and we are really friggin’ good at it.
What does this give you? Peace of mind. Every time you push that button or climb on that kicker - you know there is a strong, dependable
drivetrain ready to go and that BAKER is right beside you every mile along the way.
Go ahead, give BAKER a call today and talk to one of our Sales/Tech professionals... We can promise you clear, English-speaking, tech
savvy people on our end of the line. Guys who ride and appreciate your bike like you do.

The older pilots refer to it as the Sound of Round. That’s the beautiful mechanical cacophony you hear from an
airplane with a Pratt & Whitney R-985 when its crawling through sky. That 985 cubic inch 9-cylinder radial makes a
sound that can’t be duplicated or imitated. Same goes for a Harley engine. A big displacement 45° V-twin with high
compression and a really nervous camshaft with lots of valve overlap sounds better than every girl in a strip club
simultaneously screaming your name.
At BAKER Drivetrain we are gear-heads and motor-heads; we love this shit. But we don’t make motors; we make
drivetrains and they often take a back seat to the iconic presence of the motor. The Custom and Performance catalog
is proof that we won’t let the drivetrain be overlooked. It’s importance as the caretaker of delivering that juicy V-twin
torque to the rear tire cannot be emphasized enough.
So you have some torque. The OD6 and PowerBox will handle 165 ft-lbs of torque. Both have a common gearset
but the PowerBox borrows heavily gusseted architecture from Satan’s transmission, the TorqueBox which begs for
250 ft-lbs of torque. The Function Formed Primary (FFP) has that classic belt drive look but it’s enclosed wet design
has a through-hole in the middle and is ready for mid control fabrication. And don’t forget the clutch, it is surrounded
by two bullies; the torque from the motor and the rear tire/pavement but the KKK clutch was born from a Cadillac
transmission, grew up in Detroit, and can kick anybody’s ass. And there’s more unique drivetrain components that are
only available in the catalog you are holding right now, so please check it out.
This company was started 12 years ago because motors were making more and more power, but nobody was taking
the drivetrain seriously. Make sure to choose the right drivetrain, chassis, and rear wheel to put the power to the
ground.
The components we offer for the Harley Davidson® drivetrain aftermarket are now broken up into 4 catalogs: Cruise
Drive era (2007-later), 5-speed era (1984-2006), 4-speed era (1936-86), and Custom/Performance (includes Big Dog
and Sportster/Buell). All four catalogs are available in hard copy or can be downloaded from our website. Each catalog
is technically informative, includes some reference pricing, and should provide the information necessary to improve the
performance of your American V-Twin. If, after reading this catalog, you still have questions then give our experienced
tech or sales staff a call at (877) 640-2004 or send an Email to info@bakerdrivetrain.com.

the original 6-speed transmission
This is the ORIGINAL 6-speed design that revolutionized the American V-Twin
industry. Yet, it’s still the best overdrive 6-speed built to this day...hands down.
Our OD6 is built to comfortably handle the power from todays big-inch motors.
This transmission is rated for motors putting out up to 165ft/lbs of continuous use.
It is available as a complete transmission with a wide variety of case options and
configurations, or as a builder’s kit for your stock case application, which requires little
to no modification. The BAKER OD6 is available with many optional gear ratios to
match your engine torque and riding style.
Certain 94 and newer models require use
of separately purchased BAKER re-cal box
PN 95E-56 for correct electronic speedo
operation.

We introduced RSD in 2001 when the 240 tires came out as
a solution to balance big tire customs and it accomplished
just that. More than ever with the popular 300+ tires and the
radical 360’s in circulation, RSD translates to zero offset

OFFSET 101:
The Evo powered Harley Softail is the
design basis for custom aftermarket
components like frames, transmissions,
and engines. The positional relationships
between engine and transmission, engine
and frame, and transmission and frame
all go back to the Softail. The stock
Softail from the factory is a well-balanced
machine with no significant weight bias
from the left to the right.
If a wider than stock rear tire is used on
a Softail, the powertrain (engine and
transmission) must be moved to the left
to allow the 1-1/2” wide drive belt to clear
the left side of the rear tire. Moving the
powertrain to the left is referred to as
powertrain offset.
Powertrain offset can be achieved by
moving the transmission and/or engine to
the left, away from the stock position. The
math to explain this is easy; see the figure
to the left. The stock H-D Softail has a 130
size rear tire that is roughly 5.5” wide. The
300 tire is roughly 12” wide, which means
there is 3.25 more inches of rubber on
each side. This means the powertrain has
to move to the left about 3.25” or so.

Mr. Potato Head® was conceived in R&D a few years back to study the configurational possibilities of putting universal
bosses on a featureless tranny case. Just like the Mr. Potato Head® toy, you can end up with a genetic hermaphrodite
with a little off-the-menu creativity. The universal tranny case accepts an A-flange, B-flange or Evo flange. It also accepts
all kinds of tail stocks. This exercise yielded the easiest solution
to offsetting a tranny case side-to-side or up-and-down in
short production runs.
The RT250 vision began at Rolling
Thunder when they divulged plans to
develop a FL-type Bagger frame that
was setup for a 250 tire and Softail
length primary in a balanced RSD
chassis. They approached us about
doing a special tranny that was
specific to this frame. Mr. Potato
Head® technology finally
found its first home and we
named it the RT250 project.

Drive brake transmissions
clean up the rear wheel brake related clutter.
We designed our Drive Brake transmission as a complete system to
address some concerns we had with bolt on systems. Some bolt on
systems had small diameter rotors with partial brake pad engagement;
the one we evaluated wouldn’t even allow us to lock up and skid the rear
wheel. So we designed our system with an 8” rotor and full pad engagement.
With a prototype we were able to lock up the rear wheel and throw it sideways.
Aesthetically, it is super clean with the caliper located in between the belt rungs and
a minimalistic Function Formed hydraulic actuator spider.

We’ve been making transmission pulleys for years, both
aluminum and steel. In short, aluminum pulleys are great for
racing but do not hold up with miles. Deformed aluminum
pulley teeth will lead to saggy belts. So we manufacture our
SBD belt drive with steel pulleys front and rear for those
who plan on putting on some miles.
Using steel on the clutch basket pulley also greatly reduced
the loose bolts rattling sound that is heard on some belt
drives. Both steel pulleys are plated for corrosion protection.
Available with zero and ½” offsets for wider rear tire
applications.

The primary drive housing is the most recognizable piece of architecture on
American motorcycles. It is centrally located and transfers power from the
engine to the transmission.
We sculpted our forged 6061-T6 Function Formed Primary (FFP) to enhance
the natural mechanical beauty of the elements inside. A SolidWorks 3D model
of the clutch, chain, starter pinion, and motor sprocket was created and then
we sparingly started adding material to wrap around those elements. No extra
aluminum, just mechanical beauty. And there’s a glory hole in the middle for
that open look, with the benefits of the chain intact.
Available in a Black
Anodized finish.

FFP fits all Softail models, Evo and Twin Cam without modification.
Compatible with stock 66-tooth and 102-tooth clutches, compensating
sprocket, chain, and starter motors. Each primary kit includes an inner primary
housing, outer primary cover, special starter jackshaft, chain adjustment shoe
and mechanism, gaskets, and fasteners.
For performance junkies with mountain motors, the FFP has an optional
internal outside bearing support (FFPS). Applications above 150 ft-lbs
require the outside clutch support to keep the transmission mainshaft from
flexing. The outside bearing support version is the first enclosed, wet primary
available. Belt drives have been available for years with outside supports. Our
new KKK clutch is required with outside support spider. See page 13 for

THE TORQUEBOX has 250 foot pounds of torque load capacity!
The torque output of an engine is proportional to the bore and stroke. Engines make torque and drivetrain components
take torque. It is torque, not horsepower that destroys clutches, transmissions, and drive belts. The torque capacity of a
transmission is proportional to the gear width and the center distance between the two shafts.
All stock Harley transmissions and aftermarket transmissions have a center distance of 2.5”*. By increasing the center
distance 20% to 3.0” the Torquebox conservatively increases the torque capacity to 250 ft-lbs, continuous duty!
In the early Torquebox design stages, the goal was set to design a continuous duty 250 ft-lb gearbox that visually
looked like a 450 ft-lb gearbox on the outside. We achieved this by taking design cues from classic race-bred American
superchargers and not having any excess material, anywhere. We achieved our goal.
The Torquebox is available as a 5 or 6-speed, left or right side drive. The 6-speed is identical to the 5-speed except for the
addition of two gears and a different drum. The right side drive version is the same as the left except for the mainshaft. All
frame, starter, and clutch interfaces are identical to stock
1990-1999 models.
FEATURES:
- Compatible with most softails and custom builds
- Two rail shift form system with common fork used three times
- 2” diameter shift drum suspended by two radial ball bearings mounted to a
fixed spindle axis
- Ratchet pawl has overshift inhibitor (up and down) and is mounted on two
radial ball bearings. Shift lever shaft cross sectional area is 65% larger
than stock.
- Frictionless detent system. A 3/8” primary ball bearing is cradled by, and
rolls on, 50 secondary micro ball bearings. In turn, the cradle is part of a
plunger that actuates during shifting and is guided by a tertiary linear micro
ball bearing system.
- Ignition kill and neutral switches top mounted for easy dwell timing
adjustment.
- Shift system lever ratio is 35% less than stock. Bearing mounted shift shaft
yields low system hysteresis. Short, tight shifts are the result. N-1-2-3-4-56 shift pattern for false-neutral avoidance.
- Shaft material is super strong 9310 – the best steel made – this isn’t

approachable function-formed look
without having to pay for overkill strength
The design directives for the TorqueBox were clearly established in the early stages of development. This flagship
gearbox had to have a 250 ft-lb torque capacity gearset but externally look like 400 ft-lb standing still. Development
costs and resultant retail price were deemed irrelevant. By choosing the venerable 6-71 blower for architectural
inspiration, we inadvertently gave rise to what is now trademarked as Function Formed™ design.
Enter the new PowerBox; Function Formed™ looks without the need to pawn your guns or your wife’s jewelry. Design
inspiration from the TorqueBox coupled with a diamond ground 8620 steel 6-speed overdrive gearset gives the
PowerBox an input torque capacity of 165 ft-lb, with a 400 ft-lb curb appeal; some may argue more. More because the
tidy compact design of the PowerBox makes the function Formed design elements pop out more. 34Ds will always be
noticed more on a petite chick than a larger chick; same concept.

Aluminum Alloy Race Pulley
Race pulleys are the lightest pulleys available. A stock 32 tooth Harley pulley weighs 5.2 lbs and the equivalent Race
pulley weighs 2.0 lbs; a 61% weight savings. This reduction in mass translates into reduced ‘flywheel effect’ and
allows the engine to rev quicker. Hard anodized for wear resistance and corrosion protection. Absolutely required for
performance applications but not recommended for high mile touring. Part numbers listed are zero offset and fit 19942006 applications. 1985-93 applications require sprocket spacer and seal retrofit. Call tech line to inquire about 32 tooth
offset pulleys available in .25, .50”, 1.0”, 1.5”, and 2.0” offsets. Custom offsets available by
special order.

Moderate to extreme engine performance can raise hell with the stock secondary belt drive. The bullet proof remedy for

based off the PN 37709-89 21 tooth Sportster sprocket. The .9” sprocket is the maximum offset that can be used and still
allow room for the chain to clear the inside of the inner primary housing. .5” and .9” sprockets are generally used for wider
rear tire applications. Part numbers listed fit 1994-2006 applications. 1985-93 applications require sprocket spacer and

Used to convert your

“Torque capacity of a clutch is dictated by the diameter and
the number of clutch plates.” So the goal was to implement
the biggest diameter clutch plates that would fit underneath
the starter ring gear minor diameter. We found the biggest
ones in a Cadillac 5-speed automatic tranny so we designed
a clutch around 20 of these massive plates.
FEATURES:
- Fits any Big Twin from 1990-2006 (except 2006 Dyna).

day
Never snap the throttle open and
closed when the starter is engaged
and turning over the motor. If you
have a clutch with a 102 tooth ring
gear, you could shear teeth. If you
have a 66 tooth ring gear, you
could bend the mainshaft on the
transmission.
Stock clutch
The fundamental design approach of the BAKER clutches is different than anything available from the factory or other
aftermarket manufacturers. For strength reasons, we manufacture our clutch with a 1-piece ring gear/basket. First, a
large donut shaped forging is turned on a CNC lathe to the shape of the finished basket. Next the internal splines for the
friction plates are formed with a 6-foot long broach. Threads for attachment of the carrier are machined on a mill, then
the ring gear teeth are hobbed on the same type of machine that makes our gears. It is not cheap to make the heart and
soul of our clutches in this manner but the end result justifies the expense.
The radial strength gained by integrally putting the ring gear around the basket is analogous to the steel bands placed
around a whisky barrel. Without the steel bands, the barrel would explode and that would be alcohol abuse. Additionally,
the ring gear is supported by the hoop of the basket and this guarantees the T.I.R. at the pitch line of the ring gear teeth
(no egg shaped ring gear).
We only manufacture clutches with the 66 tooth ring gear. In 1994, Harley migrated from the 66 tooth ring to a 102 tooth
design to achieve more starting torque. The flip side of that is the teeth sheer off especially on modified motors.

We manufacture the whole drivetrain for 2005-later Big Dogs. The center distance of the primary drive is based on our
DSSC and is not common with Softail. We used our knowledge of the factory system to develop our Synchronous Belt
Drive. The pulleys are hobbed from stainless steel blanks for durability and corrosion resistance. The structural integrity
of the stainless steel clutch pulley significantly reduces that loose tappet rattling sound that some other belt drives make
when the clutch is disengaged. The indestructible pulleys are driven with a large tooth 2.4 inch belt and coupled with a
radial ball bearing suspended outside bearing support.

BAKER ONLINE STORE:
BAKER product offerings 10 years ago were pretty damn simple. We offered 8 different part numbers and that was it. Our
printed catalog easily captured and conveyed our product line. American motorcycle enthusiasts got their information by
calling our toll free number, reading magazines, and attending bar stool seminars. Back then, nobody in our world relied
on, or trusted, the internet to obtain nitty-gritty details on neat new stuff for their scoot. But today, thanks to pornography,
bikers are as web-savvy as the rest of the population. And it’s a good thing because BAKER product offerings these days
number in the thousands and many configurational options are available for any one application. In 2009 we launched the
new BAKER E-Commerce site to simplify the task of product selection for our dealers (password required) and the public.
Look for the E-Commerce button prominently displayed on our home page. It will guide you interactively, through the
maize of options, so you end up with the right configuration for your application.
The ECommerce store has proved very quickly to be an excellent tool for our dealers and retail customers alike. For
complete updates, log on, and make sure we have your email address in our database! It’s the best way not to miss out!

There Is More To A Transmission
Than Just Metal
As a company tenaciously focused on any improvement to the
American Big Twin drivetrain, BAKER Drivetrain recognizes the
fluid in the transmission is key in the performance and life of a
transmission. It is a mechanical part of it as much as the gears,
case, bearings, etc…so it must be of quality. The Spectro
Platinum Heavy Duty 6-Speed Transmission Lubricant meets
our BAKER Drivetrain quality standards for recommended
transmission oil. Our standard for recommending oil is that it
must have optimized properties tailored only for components
in a V-Twin motorcycle transmission and it must exceed all
others in excellence – like our own products do. Cheaper oils
cannot provide all these qualities.Spectro’s 6-Speed formula
base is synthetic group 4 base stock which is the highest rating
for a synthetic lubricant. It is pure with absolutely no petroleum
product blended into it.

The V-8 car culture and V-twin bike scene are similar in many ways; American muscle, performance, and
torque . If you drop a ZZ572 into your project car, don’t overlook your transmission and rear end because that
650 ft-lbs of torque is not kind to drivetrain components. Same goes for your project bike. Today’s 124+ inch
motors can grenade an anemic clutch and slope transmission. Make sure to choose drivetrain components that
are up to the task. Our tech experts have the street and strip knowledge necessary to help you determine the
right gear ratios and drivetrain components for your application. After that, the biggest challenge will be finding
new rear tires.
