Hey guys. I just figured if you didn't answer to either of the two poll questions the 3rd chioce of "don't need one" was obvious!

I have been riding the smaller bikes for years a Lowrider,a Sporster before that and didn't even think about where I was going to park. BUT then I got my 08 EG and I do think about where to park it when I pulling up to a spot, "Gotta make sure I can pull out" type of thing.I have no problem on level ground backing it up but heaven forbid on a grade.... It aint happening. talk about embarrassing. "Hey Bro mind helping me back this up" !! I think having the reverse would be an excellent mod that would come in handy.

I've Been real hot to get the Champion reverse kit, until I looked into the Baker DD-7 tranny mod I also want. You can't get the reverse with the DD-7 acc'd to the Baker man I talked to,.

Don't want/need one yet, but I'll still follow this thread, as I'm sure there will come a time when I will need one. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a factory option (like ABS) in another year or two from the MoCo.

It basicly is a factory option. They just want it to be dealer installed for two wheels.
It's MoCo kit and will be covered under warranty for two years if installed before delivery.
