When I was up at HDM a while back, Eric and I were looking over a new frame and comparing it. Changing that plate out doesn't look like it'd be too bad a job.

a new baker trans is like 3500$, buy an ultima RSD 6 speed transmission and the other parts i think you can save some money.

Big job $$ if things aren't broken.

Need new Primary, Transmission and starter
Have to remove paint/powder coating and get re-done (ie strip bike to frame)

And you loose the unique look the bike has on the left side (which I happen to like -- not like every other cookie cutter bike)

I love the look but i it's impossible to maintain this transmission if anything happens a new baker trans is 3700 plus shipping and labor. If you change and buy ultima rsd, ultima inner, ultima primary starter plus labor to change the frame and labor, paint the frame and shipping probably you will spend less than buy a new trans from baker...

Mine isn't broken but it's something to have in count because the BD baker trans is prone to have problems...

Id but a new baker in before doing all that but thats me. I've seen a Ultima break at 80 mph and i wouldnt run one. Andrew Barnes rebuilt my 07 k9 trans I shipped him and he does great work. There is a updated main shaft as those are known to fail in the baker.

Like anything you buy, there may be 1 that gives up the ghost. I've installed 7 Ultima transmissions in various builds, over time. :oldthumbsup: Never had a problem. Ultima stands behind what they sell also. On the other hand, I know of 3 Big Dog transmissions, that have failed.:mad:
