Unlock Hidden Torque with the BAKER 30-Tooth Compensator Sprocket Kit
More torque. Smoother ride. No engine upgrade required.
Ever feel like your engine is being held back by the rest of your drivetrain? We get it—and we’ve fixed it.
The NEW BAKER 30-Tooth Compensator Sprocket Kit is the only torque-increasing comp sprocket on the market. Designed specifically for 2007-Later Softail* & Touring or 2006-2017 Dyna Big Twins, this kit yields a 13% increase in the primary drive ratio, giving you more torque, smoother acceleration, and a tighter, more responsive throttle.
What that means for you:
• If you’ve got a Stage 1 engine, this kit pushes you into Stage 2 territory—or beyond.
• Without touching your engine, you’ll unlock torque you never knew you had.
• Say goodbye to stock clunk and sloppy engagement.
• This is the end-all compensator—just smooth power delivery.
• It comes complete with everything you need: sprocket, spacer, hardware—and a serious performance boost.
More performance without the cost of an engine upgrade?
Now that’s a smart move.
Born Free 16 Recap
Matt and Michelle had an unforgettable time at Born Free 16! From the incredible craftsmanship of the Invited Builder bikes to the sea of custom builds rolling through the show, it was a weekend full of inspiration. One of the highlights was connecting with so many passionate riders and builders who stopped by the BAKER booth—we loved hearing your stories and seeing your machines.
As proud sponsors of Born Free, we want to give a huge congratulations to Casey and Seth Neefus for taking home Best of Show with their stunning ‘60s-inspired Triumph, painted by Gary Royal. And hats off to Ryan Grossman, winner of the Invited Builder Award at Born-Free 16! Ryan’s 1946 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, resurrected from the ruins of a California wildfire, is now headed to the 33rd Annual Mooneyes Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show—and we can’t wait to see it continue making waves.
As proud sponsors of the Biltwell People’s Champ, we want to give a huge shoutout to Max Bayko for his incredible build and for taking home the title of Biltwell People’s Champ!
