THIS CONCLUDES THE THREAD AS IT WAS WRITTEN IN HARLEY TECH TALK AT MSN, ANYTHING WRITTEN FROM THIS POINT WILL BE NEW OR ADDED INFORMATION.

Olstoney2, asked that I copy this over before the information became lost.....hopefully this will help other's with gearing on their FXR's either now or in the future....

To clear up a misconception this is (was?) olstoney2.

The new system would not accept my previous username, so I had to re-register. Also to clear another issue up, I had stated that Baker supplied a 25T engine sprocket with the transmission. In fact the engine sprocket is a 28T. Therefore, the primary gearing is as follows 28T engine sprocket, 37T clutch basket and a two pin longer primary chain supplied by Baker. The secondary gearing is a 32 Trans pulley and a 70T rear pulley. After conferring with Baker during assembly, we chose the 32T trans pulley over a 33T due to the larger circumference of the 16" Avon 140 rear tire that replaced the 16" Metzeler 130.

Baker also offers two different sets of gear ratios inside of the transmission. I chose to stay with the stock FXR factory gearing in 1st through 5th as I knew the engine would perform the same as with the stock 5-speed. What I gained was the 6th gear and the lower rpms I was looking for at Interstate cruising in the 85mph range. I also gained a very smooth shifting, quiet, easy to find neutral transmission that so far has been reliable and leak free. I'm also confident that the Baker can and will handle the current HP of my engine and any future upgrades in that area.

I had the bike dynoed a couple of weeks ago and have posted those results elsewhere. In conclusion, after nine Dyno pulls and adjustments the final HP was 98.6 with 95.3 ft lbs of torque. We know more is available with an exhaust and/or perhaps a cam change. For the time being I'm leaving well enough alone and looking into improvements that will work, not maybe work.

I again thank Classic and all the other members that contributed. Classic feel free to recalulate the gearing if you choose to do so with the correct engine sprocket tooth count.

Best Regards to all,
