Have a 2015 ultra that I pull a camper trailer with. I always pay great attention to parking so I can drive through and only once did I have to unhook to turn around(I can do a two lane uturn no problem two up while pulling the trailer). It would be nice to have reverse with or without the trailer as I'm only 5-6" and if i loose my footing on a sandy parking lot I have to scramble to get another grip. I have researched and only really found two companies that have a reverse gear kit, Baker and Motor Trike, I'm not really interested in electric. Any experience with either? The Motor Trike little shifter looks easier not that the Baker looks hard. Any advice would be great, thanks.

Edit: I have now found Motor Trike, Champion, MMD, Momba, AIM(?). They all appear to be based on the same principle(except for the Baker). I chose Motor Trike because I liked the look and position of the shift lever, price and availability. The Baker is probably the best setup but sometimes best is just overkill for a simple task that won't be used on a regular basis, but that's just my opinion and time will tell.

 

primo revera makes one as well but is not highly recommended(cheep chinese). baker has a reputation for high quality bullet proof stuff. good customer service as well.

 

Well after our 4 day weekend trip I convinced the wife(didn't take much) that I was ordering a reverse gear tomorrow. I'm going with the Motor Trike version because I like the look of the shifter better then the others I have researched, unless anyone talks me into a different one by then. They all seem to be basically the same except for the Baker which is about 5-600 more and about twice as long to install and as far as I can see all it does is eliminate the hand shift for a toe shift below 1st gear.

 

I Champion also makes one

Yes, that was another I considered.

 

Motor Trike reverse gear will be here tomorrow, I prepped tonight.

Got a little lucky, with true duals I only had to take the rear header off, not the whole thing.
This is why I'm putting it on.

 

For anyone who cares, the Moto Trike reverse gear is installed on my 2015 Ultra. Install is a breeze. Had to monkey with my rear head pipe(true duals) with a spacer here and a spacer there but it's done and works as advertised. Went to the AMA motocross nationals that was here in Colorado yesterday and parked on the side of the road down hill with about a 4" dip from the road pavement to dirt shoulder(traffic situation wouldn't allow backing down). When leaving I had about 5 other bikes comment on how cool having reverse is. They were mostly softails and we pushing them back up onto the road. I would have never parked there if I didn't have reverse.Attachment 474485Attachment 474486

 

Who did you buy your reverse from?

 

I forget, either one of their authorized dealers, possibly Amazon. Love it!

 

Hi: I live in Denver. Any chance I can see your setup?
Thanks,
