Why Riders Choose the BAKER Direct Drive 7-Speed
 

When you're building a high-performance bike, hauling serious weight, or logging serious miles, your stock 6-speed just doesn't cut it. The BAKER Direct Drive 7-Speed (DD7) was designed from the ground up to deliver better performance, smoother shifting, and gear ratios that actually make sense.
 
Here’s why serious riders make the switch:
 
✅ True Direct Drive in the Top Gear – Both your stock 6-speed and the BAKER DD7 use a 1:1 ratio in the top gear, but the DD7 gives you a smarter spread across all 7 gears—meaning smoother transitions, better torque delivery, and no unnecessary RPM jumps.
✅ Added Gear = Smoother Ride – The 7-speed layout gives you tighter gear spacing, reducing lugging in low speeds.
✅ Optimized for Power – Whether you're running a stock motor or something built to rip, the DD7 puts you in the sweet spot of the powerband more often.
✅ Built to Take Abuse – Designed for real-world power and torque, the DD7 is a drop-in upgrade for 2007–later Touring and Softail models, plus 2006–later Dynas.
✅ Smooth, Positive Shifts – No vague or sloppy transitions. Every shift is crisp and deliberate, giving you confidence in every gear.
 
The Direct Drive 7-Speed gives you the control, refinement, and strength you didn’t know you were missing—until you ride with it.
