Baker IPB with Full Monty'd '06???
Hi again. Haven't been here in quite some time. I've got my Primary Cases removed to replace my drive belt (rock hole). While inside, I'm upgrading to the '07 (1-piece) Rotor/Stator. It also got me thinking of going to the Baker IPB, and that raised a question. I've seen contradictory statements on the Baker High Torque being suitable for up to '06 models. My issue is this; on my 2nd IPB failure I got the "Full Monty" with upgraded (doweled) tranny and IP Cases. I think they are '07 parts. Is the Baker High Torque compatible with the '07 IP Case? Or is the Baker only for '06's that haven't had the F-M upgrade? I've had no more IPB problems in the 22K+ miles since the F-M.
For those who'd recommend the 30-tooth, I like my tall gearing so no plans to change that.

Thanks S-F-G. I was hoping to hear from an '07 owner who'd installed the Baker. Truth told, I'd already bought the Baker Hi Torque "kit" online before I posted here, and was hoping for confirmation that I hadn't thrown money away on a part I couldn't use.

The baker bearing does fit your bike as well as older bikes, HD has used the same style bearing for a while. As for the stator, is you want to save a couple hundred dollars you can simply spot weld the 8 bolts. If you go to the new style rotor you also need the new style stator and that drives the price up.

Yeah, I considered just having the screws tacked, but I've seen several where the screws simply sheared, rather than came loose. I found a 1-piece '07 Rotor on ebay for $25, and won a new 30017-07 Stator this morning for $99 (free shipping). Also got a new primary gasket set (inner/outer), and the Baker Bearing. With the new belt, bearing & seal, stator/rotor, gaskets I'll be into this job $325 and change. My inner-CAS* can live with that. The peace-of-mind on Sturgis and other long trips will be a relief. I've been sweating the rotor issue for way too long.
