Heal Your Achilles’ Heel with the BAKER Factory 6-Speed Tapered Roller Bearing Kit
High-performance engine builders and BAKER engineers have long recognized the unbeatable durability of the tapered roller “Timkens” on the left side of the engine. Inspired by this proven strength, we developed the BAKER Factory 6-Speed Tapered Roller Bearing Kit—a double-tapered roller bearing system designed to reinforce stock Cruise Drive 6-speed transmissions.
This upgrade replaces the weaker factory single-row ball bearing with a robust setup that enhances stability, reduces wear, and improves longevity under high-load conditions. Whether you're pushing serious horsepower or just want peace of mind on the open road, this kit ensures your transmission can handle the ride.
Don’t let a weak bearing be your Achilles’ heel—upgrade with confidence.

"Installed the 6 into 4 nearly twenty years ago on my home-build rigid Shovelhead. Rode all around Europe and made more than 120,000 miles. It still runs like new and it was for me the best investment I ever made on my bike. Thanks Baker, you're a legend! Cheers from France." - Caspar V.
