Bearing Door Type: All DD6 bearing doors have the same outer profile as a stock 5 speed so exhaust brackets, torque arms etc. fit like stock. The DD6 door comes with or without an ear. The ear door is for exhaust bracket mounting and does not fit 1993-2006 FL applications.
Bearing Door
All DD6 bearing doors have the same outer profile as a stock 5 speeds so exhaust brackets, torque arms etc. fit like stock. The DD6 door comes with or without an ear. The ear door is for exhaust bracket mounting and does not fit 1993-2006 FL applications. Note the images below. The DD6 door bearings are larger providing 25% more dynamic load capacity than stock bearings used through 1998, also uses a 1/8″ bearing retainer plate instead of stock style snap rings.

Gearset
All DD6 gearsets are made out of 8620 steel, gears are shaper cut before heat treat then precision ground with diamond coated tooling after heat treat (58-62 Rockwell ‘C’). This extra steps ensures not only a quieter gear pair, but enables much tighter backlash control. The gearset is a combination of helical and spur gears to yield silent gear operation. The dog teeth are backcut at a 1° angle to optimize the smooth shift possible, while standard gearsets are cut to a 4° angle. The mainshaft is unique with 1st main gear being incorporated as part of the shaft, the countershaft also features a unique 1-piece design with 6th gear.

Builder’s Kit Notes
BAKER Case vs. Aftermarket
Case Design
The BAKER Softail case design had all leak potentials in mind during the design. We added stud pads to the inside of the case so that the thread holes for the transmission studs were blind holes, NOT through holes like some aftermarket brands. Looking at the image on the right you can see the difference.

Recommended Upgrade
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).

I've recently installed the DD6 kit and so far have put 1500km on it. This transmission shifts quick! I can bang through the gears just as fast as a motocross bike. First oil change has been done and the oil came out looking like it just came out of the bottle. I would like to mention though... Early bikes will require Baker's Zero offset drive sprocket (I believe 1993 and earlier?) there was no mention of this in any of the specs for this transmission. This delayed my being able to ride by a couple of weeks while I waited for the new Drive sprocket to ship to Canada (Covid didn't help this matter). The oil seal and drive sprocket spacer that ship with this kit are of the (1993? and later style). I opted for a 31 tooth sprocket when I ordered the Zero offset one, hindsight I should have just stayed with the stock 32 tooth one for a bit more top end. My bike has a stock 80" evo with a S&S super E carb and is other wise stock, it pulls this gear no sweat. All in all I'm 100% happy I bought this. I may do a 124" motor at some point and when I do, I'll rear gear with possibly the 34 tooth sprocket for even more top end.
Awesome purchase from start to finish. What a novel idea that you get everything including a new comp and chain for the primary. Could not ask for a better product or transaction. Thanks to everyone at Baker!
