Baker release reverse gear
15/04/2008 by info.
BAKER Drivetrain has created the F6R reverse kit for 2007-2008 factory Cruise Drive six-speeds to meet the demands of an aging demographic of Harley riders. The F6R provides a reverse gear which is especially useful for riders of large touring bikes, side cars, trailer users and trikes who find it difficult to push a bike backwards.
Lehman Trikes adopted the technology for its Harley-Davidson three-wheel motorcycles and now, the F6R is exclusively distributed via Lehman Trikes and Baker Drivetrain.
Reverse is selected by moving the foot shift lever. Down shift into 1st gear, engage the electric safety switch near the handle bars and down shift again to select reverse. Up shift into 1st after completing the reverse maneuver to continue down the road.
Internally, the shift drum indexes to select reverse. The drum inherently functions as an interlock and makes it impossible to select reverse and another gear simultaneously.
The F6R is over-designed to make it durable under all conditions. Reverse gears and dogs are fully case hardened to HRC58-62 making the F6R as durable in reverse as it is in forward gears. Reverse gear ratio is 4.98:1. This compares to the 1st gear ratio of 3.34 making it 45 percent shorter than 1st gear.
The system is compatible with the Baker F6F which reduces 5th gear noise, and is available with cable type or hydraulic clutch actuator side cover. Baker offers an install service on the F6R on low mile six-speed gearsets sent to it for a nominal charge.
