Well, I went with Baker's----Not as many choices, but the way I see it, Bakers tranny-Baker's primary, they should know. But to each his own...I've made a couple of cross country rides, and knock on wood-not one problem..:flag::cheers:

All I can say is they are both great products.

If you decide to go Baker, let me know and I will see what I can on "Forum Pricing".

Bdl is making them for the 05 and newer primary?

Not sure at this point. I have not checked into this yet. I was just mentioning this because when we signed up with Kustonwerks recently, we gained access to sell BDL products through them.

Thanks for posting the search link - doesn't work on my computer though. I did quite a bit of poking around on the search function and learned a lot about open primaries, but a comparison of the Baker and Karata seemed lacking.

The Baker seems like a very finished product, but the 2.5" belt is a turn off. The Karata is also nice but I think all in with the OBS is a thousand bucks more expensive. I sent a note to Jim but no response yet. Thx again.
