  • What model motorcycle do you ride? Evo chopper

N1 perfect for hand shift

I've been running the 5 speed N1 shift drum in my Foot clutch/ hand shift chopper for 5 years. It makes riding a foot clutch bike very easy and I'm going to put the same setup on the bike I'm currently building.

WAY better than OEM

Ordering/ shipping excellent! Packaged expertly. Bought one previously, HAD to put one on this bike, anticipating purchasing a 3rd in near future..shifting is so much more positive and, 'neutral' is now where it SHOULD be! BEST add-on for ANY H-D!

N1 shift drum

This is the 4th N1 shift drum that I have purchased from Baker and they are excellent, especially if you are running a handshift bike. Like I tell all of my customers you get what you pay for,

N1 replacement.

The N1 shifter was very well made and performed as expected. Installation was by the book and required some special tools, but I was able to complete all of the work in my shop. It performs as advertised.
