If the original owner supplied him with a copy of the receipt and it is still within the warranty parameters we can still cover it.

The chrome flaked off my dealer installed baker 6 speed. But in order to get it covered under warranty I would have to pay the dealership to remove it, send it back, and then re install it. Why should I have to pay more money for their cheap chrome job? Mechanically nothing wrong with it, just looks like crap.
To do it over again I would have bought a HD 6 speed. It would also have been a few bucks cheaper.

And you would still have to pay the Reaper when the time comes.
My Six spd SE Right Side cover was starting to flake, but sold the bike ...
Nothing wrong with it operational, just some cosmetics after 6 seasons of riding in all kinds of weather.
Baker are good peoples.

What a douche move on your part. That is the kind of thing you take up personally, not on a public forum.

Don't cry. I did call Baker and talk to them. Thats why I know I would have to pay a dealer to remove and reinstall their cheap **** trans. I have every right to publish my experience. If Baker cared as much as you think they do, they would of covered the costs for the complete repair of their defective product.

Baker is a stand up company and I would say 99.9% of people that have dealt with them would agree. I think you may be out of touch with reality. No company will pay labor in that situation. It seems they were going to take care of the issue you had but you chose not to take them up on there offer.

The only thing I did wrong was buy a trans from a name brand company. I don't think spending an additional $800 to fix their low grade quality was really my responsibility. You wouldn't either so quit sucking butt.
Now my bike garners alot of attention with the custom wheels, air ride suspension etc. When people ask what happened to the trans I tell them. Its what Baker chose. I'm over it.
