Why do you want a 6 speed? I have a rev-tec 6 speed and rarely use it unless I'm on the highway. I've heard great things about the baker but to be honest, I have never had an issue with my rev-tec. Use a quality tran fluid (Spectro, redline or what have you)and you shpuld be good to go. Tons of info about tran fluid on this sight. Search it.

Exactly, The 6 speed is a great hiway tranny, the H D 5 speed was a very good tranny, IMO all the after market 6 speeds are good but Baker is a cut above, aint it funny Baker had the gear set first then H D said HEY we can do that too, but they mis cued on the stock (WEAK) trap door JMO and I have worked on most of these trannies

6th gear @ 75 mph or above - just my theory!!!

Me too 6th gear over 65 MPH on my 2008 EG. Other wise hardly use it...

Yep Randy, Bernie my Bob likes 60-65 with no lugging or pinging

Correct me if Im wrong but the baker 6 speed uses a 1:1 ratio in 6th gear. most after market 6 speeds use .89:1 or .86:1 making them an overdrive trans. The 07 and up harley trans are 1:1 6th gear ratio. But for some reason all the 6 speed trans from the catalog for 06 and older only come with the .86:1 option. Not sure why that is.
