Open primary options

[Chad Cookson]

So as of recently from what I understand Baker is not making the open primaries for Big Dog anymore and a couple other business are no longer making them either. I'm wanting to maybe dip my toe in an open primary. Just wondering what's out there now, all of our threads are clear back from 2015 and later.

That's a little wider than what I'm looking for. I was thinking 3in at the max. Appreciate the offer though.

I put a Ultima 3.35" on my 04 chopper. i needed 2 extra spacers, not difficult to find

have you checked with Karata - to see what he has - here is picture of mine 4 inch, over 20000 miles on it & I love it. also have EFM auto clutch which is pretty easy to install with this set up. If you go this way get aluminum clutch plates they will not tear up inside of clutch housing.

Call Belt drive limited. I love their 2” belt that handles up to 150 hp. I used a Primo Revera 1.25” spacer. Also run a belt drive limited lock up clutch. It will not slip

What model BD you have? I have the 07 K9 and got mine from Baker a couple months ago. Took about 3 weeks to get it from when I ordered it. Don’t believe anyone saying they are not making them. They make the inner plate to order. The 300 tire has a “0” offset #BD-BDM-0. 250 tire has 1/2” offset #BD-BDM-1/2.

So their director of sales and marketing, Linda Wash, is a liar?

 

[Lorenzo]

Don’t know. I placed my order thru J&P and 3 weeks later I got it at my doorstep

 

[Lorenzo]

Someone I know with the 250 tire, #BD-BDM-1/2, ordered it from Baker mid November and received it last week.

Do you have a link to them from baker?

 

[Lorenzo]

I don’t know anyone there personally.

 

[Lorenzo]

Besides me ordering one, I’ve heard of 2 other people in my area that ordered one also since I ordered mine. Maybe Baker only deals with people in central Texas. Lol

You said you ordered through JP cycles. That just means they had stock on their shelves

Don't think it would take them 4 - 6 weeks to go to the warehouse and pull it off the shelf? (Bottom right hand corner "Usually ships in 4-6 weeks" )

 

[Lorenzo]

No. I ordered thru JP but did call Baker about a week after ordering it to inquire about it, and they said they make the inner plate to order. So when you order the primary, they make the inner plate then ship. The open primary for the BD’s only fit BD’s so pretty sure that’s why they are only made when ordered
