Default Baker DD6

Should I get the one with the 2.94 or 3.24 gearing for my bagger? How much difference would it make

I do not think they are going to make a DD7 for 06 and older

I know I would prefer the 3.24 on a bagger. The extra weight of the FLH seem to need that little bit extra to get it moving from a stop. The orignal 5 speed has a 3.21. I think HD had the weight thing figured out. I have heard of no complaints about the Baker products. I did some thinking about a six speed and chose the OD6. I do most of my riding 75% at or lower than 65 MPH. Give me a break, Its a touring bike so I tour! But when I get to the interstate the 6th gear shines. I prefer to have 5th 1.1 because 5th was what I figured I would be in most of the time. Less wear and tear on the trans. And I was dead on with my assumption. On the other hand, if I did most of my riding on the interstate I would have went with the DD6. That would put 6th 1.1. Save a little fuel and less wear and tear on the trans.
