i want to put a reverse on my trike but baker says it has to be a 90 on model with a splined main shaft but splined shafts came out earlier.whats the difference .

can i just change the main shaft in my early shovel-evo 5sp thanks all

 

The first thing I'd do is call Baker and tell them what you have and let them explain why it will or won't work.

 

Mark from Baker may be along soon.

 

Rumor has it that Mark is no longer with Baker

 

Indeed, I have also seen posts suggesting that Baker are not being very customer friendly at present.

John, what year is the engine/gearbox in your trike?

 

Speak with the other vendors that sell reverse kits to see if they can help, like Champion or Motor Trike.

 

 

Baker's reverse is actuated by solenoids instead of manually. Don't know if anyone else could help.

 

champion and motor trike wont fit the early 5 sp the reason baker is an option is that the manual reverse could have clearance issues with the exhaust. my main question is ,is there a difference between a 87 and 90 splined shaft and will it fit the early 5 sp trans case..im going up to my hd mechs shop soon as he has a customer who is bringing in a reverse to be fitted to a solo. the actual model of my motor -trans is unknown but is powered by a 1400 rev tec motor thanks all

 

Let us know what you find out. Good luck.
