Baker Drivetrain did send all new gaskets, bearings, clutch basket and etc to me. They also rebuilt the tranny with all new parts this time. I'm trying to get them to cover the expenses the second time for labor and shipping which came to about $1, 250.00 that I shouldn't have to pay twice. They are saying that they don't warranty labor or shipping. I told them that the mechanic who reused my main drive shaft really needs to start thinking. I told him he could have killed me if I would have been going down the freeway at 80 miles an hour and that main shaft broke because he used a used one when they rebuilt my tranny and I wasn't very happy about that.
And no I have not finished rebuilding my bikes yet. I'm getting on my raw aluminum chromed on one of them and then a paint job on the other.
It's been almost a year since I've been able to ride a decent ride without something breaking down. So these two bikes going to be like brand spanking new when I'm done here the end of this month.

Did you put a ultima 6 spd in a big dog? What problems did you encounter? Are they plug n play?
2004 & Earlier bikes is plug & play with any left side drive 6 speed Jim's, Baker, Ultima whoever. 2005-11 NOT plug & play requires frame modification and an entire new inner & outer primary setup, clutch, & starter to work with any other right side drive transmission made.

See my other thread.
Transmission
Hi there, I have read that baker is no longer supporting parts for our transmissions, or complete new transmissions, if it breaks we gonna have a Fk up day... The baker transmission equipped all the bikes until 2011 right? What are the options if that hapens? I read that an Ultima RSD 6 spees...

Eric is 100% correct with what he said.
I actually have 2 of my bikes now with a ultima transmission but the are both 04 models....ultima is the best bang for the buck....baker thinks to much of thereselves in my opinion

So I'm fk if anything happens to my transmission...
Not completely...there is some parts out there but not alot for the rsd...like Eric said the frame modification and primary is a option....pricey option but an option....

Do you know what frame modification is needed?

When I had my bandit clutch installed the fins on the primary had to be shaved down, its actually in the instructions.

Get hold of Curtis. He may be able to make an adaptor, or different trans. mount that will save the day.

The transmission plate has to be relocated

I thought that would be the main obstacle to put a different transmission in a big dog 05-2011 all the other parts its almost easy primary and inner, starter you could buy from the old BD 04 and later is almost plug and play, the offset for the wheel is the 2 problem but a new BD baker tramission is to damn expensive and there isn't many around. I would love to see someone do this i am almost selling my BD project because of this transmission problem and in europe there isn't many who could do this...

I got a buddy that has a 07 that has been on me about converting his bike....if i end up doing it for him i will do a thread on here about what all it consist of as relocating the plate, parts and labor...maybe it will help other on here in the future....i honestly dont think it will be a bad job at all to do it....it will just be a bit expensive as far as parts to do it
When I was up at HDM a while back, Eric and I were looking over a new frame and comparing it. Changing that plate out doesn't look like it'd be too bad a job.

Curious, what’s the difference in the pad.
higher/lower or left /bright , longer shorter? I’m sure hole pattern too.
The height is the same, mainly the hole pattern. Unfortunately the stock plate can't be drilled to accept the new trans.

That would be LEGENDARY my friend!!! because we love our BDs and that is the only reason that i'm in doubt to sell the motorcycle before something happens...
