A BDL TF-1000 primary is going for $3200+ now. Of course they will only work on the LSD ‘04 & earlier bikes.

Well guys As you all know it Is a (UNICORN) And I just had to have itNo kidding I was genuinely surprised to hear that LHS found one complete in the box…. and I don’t think we dare ask the cost!!!
LOL and it didn't cost me as much as my first Born child 
I will tell you this it Definitely cost me more than the 3200,00 when discontinued. I came close to selling it for $1200 more than I paid (Don't know what the hell I was thinking there} 
I would never have forgiven myself because I would have never found another

Well I finally got to take the dog out Yesterday and try out the new open primary. Got a question ? It's got a rattling sound in neutral with the clutch Released. Not real loud but is definitely noticeable . As soon as I squeeze in the clutch it goes away is this normal? I didn't notice this after I first installed it and had it running in the shop but now that I have a couple 100 miles on it I can hear it. It almost sounds like a loose rocker arm or I should say about the same type of sound.

Knows some things
It is more than likely the clutch discs, this is normal, because there isn't any oil to quite them down. You may also see a little oil drip from the front. As the stator heats up, any oil left in it will run out.
Like HMAN says…Being Cool Ain’t Cheap!
I don't think anything is cheap anymore.
Gottaflirt
Leaving it all behind
Im amazed you found it. I don't even hear rumors of that drive being available. Baker just laughed when I asked them. SCORE!

Well guys I'm thinking seriously about taking my Baker open primary off and selling it. It has less than 300 miles on It and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just don't like listening to the noise. Thought I'd Get on here and see if anyone is interested. They were selling for $3200 when they quit making them and The price just climbed from there as you all know . They are now a Unicorn . I paid Way more for it than that. If anyone is interested just let me know and we'll see if we can get together on it
Is there any way to make one for a 300/330 rear tire fit on a 250 rear tire? If so I'd be very interested in it.
I would think it would definitely work. You would probably just need a different offset….
i am thinking the same thing for sure, but I cant remember how the offset on the baker works. If its made into the motor plate or if there were actual offset rings that mounted between the motor plate and motor. But I am thinking the offset for the 250 was larger than the 300. Which means you should be able to take a 300 open primary and add offset to it to make it work on the 250. But I don't think the 250 could work on a 300 because you cant take offset away. If i remember correctly. But maybe someone could clear this up. But if the is a way to make this work I defina
