The Baker team understands the love affair with your vintage motorcycle… There’s nothing like putting authentic, vintage styled components on your nostalgic bike. That’s why BAKER has taken the time to reinvent the 4-Speed.
“Some people don't give a smooth fart about any Big Twins after the Shovelhead 4-speed,” said Bert Baker. “For those stubborn individuals we developed our 4-speed ratchet top using traditional factory 4-speed external architecture and many internal improvements to the bearings, shift system, and gears.”
With a vintage styled BAKER cast aluminum (A356-T6) transmission case, designed for traditional gear drive speedo pick up and modern late model electronic speedo pick up. As well as vintage style BAKER cast aluminum (A356-T6) top cover with linear detent system for that smooth and reliable shift quality you come to expect from BAKER.
The new BAKER 4-Speed comes available with many options for side covers, with or without kicker, raw, wrinkle black, or polished finish and billet hydraulic or mechanical kicker cover upgrades.
BAKER Kicker Gears come standard on kicker models. BAKER Modern 4-Speed Gearset is Made Out Of High Grade 8620 Gear Steel; Gears Ride on Needle Bearings Instead Of Brass Bushings.
This is a direct bolt-in transmission on most models, whether you’re running a tin type primary or open belt drive.
