Industry legend Bert Baker , the ' Gearhead ' behind Michigan based Baker Drivetrain , says " designed , manufactured , tested , proven and beloved - the industry ' s leading reverse drive for Harley-Davidson is the easiest to use and most worry-free system available . " Our non-invasive reverse gear system was designed to be out of the driveline picture when going forward . We did not want superfluous reverse gear mechanisms at play spinning , jarring and / or adding additional rotational weight where 99.9 % of the riding direction is spent - namely going forwards . We did not want to compromise safety , performance and horsepower for the tiny moments when going backward is needed ." The Baker F6R kit includes the door , side cover , countershaft , reverse gears and shift system and related hardware and adds a reverse gear to any existing 2006-later factory Big Twin Cruise Drive 6- speed transmission . " The system is unlike any other on the market ," says Bert . " It works off the stock shift lever - with a simple safety switch lever and a kick of the shift lever , you ’ re in reverse . It ’ s that simple . No reaching near hot pipes to put your bike in reverse by hand . With the Baker reverse system , you ’ ll be able to safely shift from first to reverse and back with no risk of engaging both gears at once . You ’ ll also find it ’ s much easier to find neutral than on a stock bike ." Baker reverse gears are fully heat-treated , with diamond-ground tooth profiles and cut from gear
grade 8620 steel . The gear ratios were chosen to make it easy to maneuver the bike in reverse . The overall 4.98:1 reverse gear ratio is essentially a creeper gear , which is 45 % shorter than the stock 3.34:1 first gear ; a redundant spring system on the safety lever assembly make it " the safest reverse system on the market today ," and the included shift drum improves shift quality and the ability to find neutral . Backed by a two-year limited warranty , it features a true ‘ plug and play ’ wiring harness - no need to use the starter motor for reverse maneuvers . No case modifications are necessary and there is no accidental shifting into reverse due to the safety lever mechanism that locks out reverse when it is not energized . It does not fit 2023 and later CVO models .
