' Klassic ' Kicker Gear Kit
The Baker ' Klassic ' kicker gears " roll smooth as glass ," says Bert Baker . " Get the peace of mind of not being stranded ever again . This will fit 1936- 1986 H-D Big Twin kicker-equipped models and will work with a 14-tooth H-D starter gear .
Dutch based multinational distributor Motorcycle Storehouse has added Trask to its line-up of performance brands . Founded over two decades ago , Phoenix , Arizona based Trask Performance has gone from strength to strength , not least because of its award-winning ' Assault Series ' custom baggers - the signature styling and custom detailing of which can be seen running through its USA made bolt-on product range . " Trask ' s ' V-Line ' handlebars and ' Assault ' risers come in a range of heights and are the perfect upgrade for riders looking to improve the ergonomics of their current setup , while achieving that on-trend performance aesthetic ." Noted for the dominance in the Bagger Racing League and , historically , for its Turbo Chargers , high performance is coded into Trask ' s DNA and its dynodeveloped ' Assault ' hi-flow air cleaner kits are an iconic design , with the performance gains to match . " A high-capacity air filter and large diameter velocity stack work in harmony to significantly improve airflow , resulting in a + 8 hp increase in power output . Plus , with a hidden integrated breather system and crystal-clear LEXAN cover , they look great too ."

" We started making 6-into-4 transmissions with kickers over ten years ago . At the time , we could only purchase some lower grade Taiwanese kicker gears in volume , because nobody made them in the USA anymore . Not acceptable . So , we tooled up our own right here in Michigan . " They come standard on all Baker 4-speeds , 6-into- 4s and kicker kits . To see the difference , take a pair of imported gears and roll the teeth together - they roll like a mismatched pair of gears and are dangerous to have inside the transmission . Our ' Klassic ' kicker gears roll the way they should - they look , feel and are quality . They ’ re not cheap , but they are the last set you will have to buy ."
