2003 Chopper transmission trapdoor

[ZeDevil]

Hello everyone,

I have a huge problem and I'm very far away from home. I'm currently in France.
My transmission crapped out. One of the bearings from the trapdoor blew out and damaged the trapdoor also.

Replacing only the bearings is not an option. I NEED A NEW trapdoor.

My question is what kind of trapdoor fits this setup? Is it only a big dog / baker part or any kind of trapdoor for "6 into 5" kits work ?

- 5 speed softail evo case from Jims
- baker 6 speed OverDrive gear set
- original trapdoor has "Big Dog" engraved on it.
This is stock 2003 Chopper equipment.

Oh shit Bro! Where about in France are you? How many K s to the "La Jonquera" Border? 50 clicks South of the Border (in Girona) I have a good mechanic who could help you if its not too far away for you. http://gironacustom.com/en/

Ask for Lluis, hes the owner and speaks good English. Tell him you know me, "the guy with a yellow Big Dog K9".

Good luck.

I'm somewhere near Saint Tropez on Cot d Azur. I'm at a friend that has all the tools, but I need the trapdoor and don't know what else fits this setup. Anyone knows?

I would give Curtis a call (http://www.wildsteedworx.com) I bet he can answer and even deliver you a new part in reasonable time. Sure it will take days and some $$

For the record, the transmission trapdoor is matched to fit the drive train gears and bearings so that means it's only available from Baker (or your drive train manufacturer).

I was lucky to find one on ebay, now waiting for it to be delivered.
