Baker Drivetrain : Recent new products from the Michigan based transmission specialist include a new cable-type side cover designed with " minimal waste and purposeful mechanical intent ," said Bert Baker . Machined from vacuum-formed , certified 6061-T6 billet aluminum , it is compatible with OEM or aftermarket transmissions and can be used with the factory throwout bearing - " but we highly recommend upgrading to the Baker heavy duty throwout bearing kit ." As a replacement for the ugly stock bubble cable side cover the " spatial envelope is significantly smaller than the OEM cable side cover , with design features including a convenient side transmission fill port ." Available in gloss or wrinkle black , it utilizes the stock clutch cable , ball and ramp and is designed for maximum exhaust pipe clearance . It can be used as an OEM replacement , even for hydraulic actuated applications on 2007-later Softail and Touring applications , and 2006-2017 Dyna applications ( compatible with cable operated clutches and hydraulic clutch retrofits ); www . bakerdrivetrain . com
