I have a 2009 Elecra Glide Classic from almost new. I do all my own regular maintenance.
When it was about 4 months old I bought it from a fellow in Oregon, went through all the BS to bring it to Canada, then had to go through more BS to keep the warranty alive. Done.
During the inspection the service manager mentioned the noise in the transmission are sounded like an input shaft bearing dying, so I made an appointment and had it redone on the MoCo's dime.
Last year, the noise comes back, but, foolish me, we were gong through a financial rough patch just then, I parked it for the winter and thought I'll get it done THIS winter.
Nope.
In May it was so noisy, I thought "Better get this seen to" - finances were improving so .....
Long wait for the dealer, took it to an indie I've worked with before, he had it for a week, couldn't cure the noise, finally gave up & gave me back the bike, (no charge - nice of him, and appreciated)
I know he put in parts, 'cause I saw the old ones.
Took a deep breath and made an appointment with the dealer, 18 days into the future, but they could pick the thing up, since no way am I riding it!
So: No wonder it sounds like *****.
Output shaft bearing housing gouged - needs a transmission case.
6th gear needs replacing, metal "dots" like welding slag on the inner section just below the gear.
Main shaft scored, needs replacing.
What's still good? Gears 1-5, and shift forks. That's it. I told them to rebuild it.
I don't smoke, or drink, or gamble. I havn't replaced my computer or tablet in 5 years (no need). I'm not buying a new 'bike anytime soon and it's one of 2 extravagances - the other is my woodworking and I'm set up for tools.
The cost? $3250.00 Canadian. Holy cow! Without it, the bike is scrap metal, so what the heck, it's only money.

 

For that money I would check out a Baker. Sorry for your misfortune but my 01 Road King transmission has been rebuilt a couple times.

 

They gave me the option - it was a bunch more money and a delay while they got it in from the 'states, plus the uncertainty of the currency fluctuations

 

As noted above, I'd give Baker a call. The DD5 builder's kit looks like a better deal, also I think they give a forum member discount.

Nice. The dealer screwed it up the first time they went through it and now you get to pay for their mistake. I would have just taken it home at that point and put a Baker in it ...

 

 

 

Mileage?

 

 

Buying a Baker gear set isn't going to address gouged transmission case. With the new case and the Baker gear set it would be much more expensive.
