Same here no oil, no mess, to me; smoother, looks great BUT
pain in the ass for peg and shifter access. But have BridgePort II will travel.
Well like I said they are planning to do a 2 inch for sure and then maybe a 2.5 inch also, it will all depend on clearances, because unlike the Baker open primary's overall like 4.5 inch width a BDL 2 inch belt drive, the motor plate and bearing support will measure between 5 and 7 inches.

Has there been any updates? I emailed Scott at BDL and got on the list. He seems like a good dude
Hopefully they will be for sell by Christmas

Let the Big Dawg eat !
That is a good question? I am waiting patiently....
Last I had talked to Scott they were shooting to have these on sell by the holidays. but maybe there were issues or some kind set back. I had sent them a complete primary off a 2008 Mastiff (yes I know I have a 2006 Mastiff, won't fit mine) I found on ebay for sell. they were going to CMM it to get the specs, but then someone was shipping them an actual motorcycle so they were going to use it to mock up the prototype. They already sent my primary back to me so they are done with that part. I'll add a screen shot of the email saying they were looking to have them out by the holidays.

They don't have big dog on their site. Do you remember what bike you used that "fit" your baker transmission?
They don't have them on their site yet because they haven't finished making the proto-type yet. They never made one for a right side drive Baker DSSC. If you read this thread you would see that I and Scott from BDL started this project about a year ago. Before he could go to the bosses about making one he first needed to show them there was a demand for them, his bosses said that if he could get 100 ppl to email him that they wanted one then they could start seeing about making one. Then they needed the inner primary to CMM and get the layout and bolt pattern, then they needed a bike to mock one up on, but that bike needed a transmission rebuild so they sent transmission off to be rebuilt. Now they have it back and they now are making the mock up and in the final stage before starting production. They will have an offset spacer for the 250 tire, 300 and I think the 330. Belts will be ether a 2 inch or 2.5 inch thick primary belt. When they all the bugs worked out, then they will go into production for sell. Then go on their website.

Jordan I have a 2003 Bigdog Chopper. BDI products for a 1998 HD soft tail with a 1 1/4” offset spacer fits this perfectly. What yr and model is your dog

2008 Mastiff!
We had hoped by the end of last year but because of that transmission rebuild it delayed thigs a while. But I'm hoping it is by the end of the year. But when Scott messages me and tells me mine is ready, I'll update everyone. From my understanding the guy that donated his bike and I will be given the chance to buy the first, two made.
