DD7 in!
DD7 installed
Neutral is back!! AND Click click click!!
Owner of the dealership really rides, test rode it and said"Thats nice".
Cruise works in 7th only.
I have a TTS tuner and will play with the gearing to see if i can get it to work in other gears.
Very happy with this upgrade.

I heard that 1st is really tight with that tranny, what I mean is that it whines out really quick, is that true or do you get more off the mark?

You are missing out listening to others talk about a short first gear.
This tranny rocks and first gear is not a problem. WAY better.
This trans and just a stage one upgrade would impress most people.

This interested me until I found out about the cruise issue. I like the idea of a really low 1st gear for take offs.

I'm envious of the reputation Baker has for the way their transmissions engage gear and neutral, with such reliability and precision. But I must admit I struggle to understand the need for seven gears. We have two cars with 7-speed autos and neither of them spend more than a second or two in first. On a bike I associate lots of gears with a narrow power band, not the wide range of torque a well tuned Harley has. I can see the attraction of a DD6, but wow the price (especially here in the UK)!

I live in NYC. the stock trans in 1st and 2nd gear aren't suited to city riding. using the DD7 allows me to have the lower first 2 gears and keep the original overdrive ratio so i can cruise the interstate at 80 or 85 which would be a little buzzy using a 30 tooth pulley.
