The F5R kit adds a reverse gear to any 1990-2006 big twin 5 speed. The contents in the F5R kit are similar to the F6R; door, side cover, countershaft, reverse gear train and hardware. Existing gearset (except countershaft), shift system and top cover will be re-used with the F5R installation. The F5R will be appreciated by those with heavy GVW applications (trikes, side cars and trailers) or those with compromised leg mobility. Also available as a 5 Speed Builder’s Kit with reverse, or as a complete transmission upgrade. No longer do you have to wrestle that large bagger out of a tight parking situation. You can safely and easily back up in reverse using the throttle and clutch.  All reverse functions are on the handlebars and/or inner fairing. No reaching down near the hot exhaust to actuate reverse.  By design it is mechanically impossible to be in reverse and a forward gear like other units on the market.  Maintain the freedom of being powered by an American Big Twin – even in reverse!

 

- Will retrofit with  BAKER DD5 or Stock H-D® 5-speed transmissions.

- Full complement of parts and detailed instructions included for an easy installation.

- Reverse is designed as a creeper gear for the safest operation possible.

- Reverse selection controlled by aircraft grade shifting solenoid & crank assembly. Electronic reverse safety lock out solenoid is energized with the  handlebar mounted momentary toggle switch.

- No ‘accidentally’ shifting into reverse. Solenoids are only powered when the bike is in neutral and automatically turn ‘off’ when bike is shifted out of neutral.

- Redundant dual spring system on the shifting bell crank assembly make it is the safest reverse system on the market today.

- True ‘plug & play’ wiring harness. No using the starter motor for reverse maneuvers either.

- No case modifications required for reverse gearset installation.

- Backed by a 2 year limited warranty.

 

- 5.69:1 ratio reverse gear in the F5R gearset, which is 43% shorter than the stock 1st gear ( 3.21:1). Making it  essentially a creeper gear.

- Reverse gears and dogs made of 8620 gear steel, fully case hardened to 58-62 Rockwell C. Ground tooth profiles with diamond coating tooling

- Billet (6061-T6) Aluminum bearing door and side covers. Available in polished or chrome finishes.

- Pre heat treated 4140 billet steel shift fork (28-32 Rockwell C) rides on a case hardened, ground finish fork rod.

- Hydraulic side cover (1.5″ Piston) works with stock and aftermarket 11/16″ bore hydraulic clutch lever assemblies.

- All included bolts are polished stainless steel.

- Clears the stock FLT/ FLH cast oil spout.

- Will retrofit with  BAKER DD5 or Stock H-D® 5-speed transmissions.

- Typical install time is 6-9 hours depending on the model of motorcycle, exhaust and installed accessories.

- Sticks out from bearing door the same amount as a stock mechanical (cable style) transmission side cover.

- Due to the solenoid location on the side cover, the F5R may not work with some 2-into-1 exhaust systems where the rear head pipe goes down in front of the transmission.  Clears all stock exhaust systems will a small amount of clearancing to the lower door mount exhaust bracket required on stock FLT/ FLH systems.

Recommended Fluid Level

Picking the right transmission fluid ensures the life and durability of your transmission, that’s why BAKER recommends a fully synthetic GL-5 rated gear weight oil of 75W-140. If a GL-5 rated gear lube is not available, these commonly carried viscosities (weights) will work 75W-90, 75W-140 and 85W-140. BAKER does not recommend the use of Syn3 (20W-50).

Testimonials
Ron Schultz Custom 2003 Dyna Trike:Hopefully u find these pictures interesting. My dad’s always wanted a Harley, and finally a few years ago, he got his wish, he purchased a new 2003 anniversary low rider, but with a recent hip replacement and trouble keeping the bike upright while stopped. Him and I together designed and built this one of a kind trike last winter. Taking a resemblance of the can am, we came up with our own concept, and what a wild ride. A few weeks ago he had me doing some research on reverse kits of some kind and I stumbled upon your kits. It took us quite a few pain staking hours to do, but that’s time well spent with a father. He couldn’t be any more pleased with your product. A fine, well-engineered product that we would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much again, John and Ron Schultz.
