BAKER DRIVETRAIN has developed the DD6 (Direct Drive 6-speed) transmission for H-D Softails, FXRs, FLTs and Dynas which see a lot of highway use.

The system provides direct power transfer from the engine by reducing the number of gears when cruising in 6th gear, resulting in less noise and vibrations and greater efficiency.

In addition, the 4th, 5th and 6th gears are helical for smoother operation, though the first three gears remain conventional to enable optimum handling of starting-off torque.

Other features include a 28-tooth compensating sprocket, longer primary chain, anti-overshift ratchet pawl, fixed spindle shift drum and a chrome trap-door with an engraved DD6 logo.

The DD6 has been chosen by Big Dog for fitment in all their motorcycles.

It is currently offered in 80ci, 93ci, and 103ci displacements.Engines formerly known as Sidewinder, Super Sidewinder and Super Sidewinder Plus will now be known as the V-Series. They are available as an aftermarket product, with displacement options of 96ci, 107ci, 113ci, and 124ci, and are compatible as a replacement engine for Harley-Davidson motorcycles using the Evolution engine.

The T-Series includes engines utilizing dual cams. The high-performance engines are compatible as a replacement engine for Harley-Davidson motorcycles using the Twin Cam 88 engine. In addition to the T124 (124ci displacement) used to take two records at Bonneville this year, other models include racing engines in 120ci, 133ci, and 139ci displacement options. A T-Series version, designed to mount in 1984-1999 single cam models, is also available. Two displacement options of 91ci and 100ci are offered with the X-Series engine.
