BAKER 12 Step Program

Описание: The story goes like this, Roland Sands Design (RSD) and Bell Helmets put together a contest to reward one lucky person with the ultimate bike rebuild. It was ultimately won by Ron Mercurio, an ex-Navy Seal who had a 1987 FXR that was the perfect canvas for Roland & Crew to work their magic. They approached us at this years V-Twin Expo in Cincinatti to get involved and rebuild the stock, worn out, transmission. This project started out like most, a modest rebuild; make sure it was in proper working order and freshen up all of the seals, bearing and snap rings. Machine in a provision for a modern electronic speedo pick-up, black powdercoat the case, re-assemble and happily ever after Ron ride's off into the sunset. During the tear down at RSD, the all too common, thin cross section main drive gear bearing landing cracked. There goes the simple and easy plan...

Cameron over at RSD got on the phone with Delkron and got one of their replacement cases and modern style inner primary. The transmission case was set up for a modern EVO era starter, so we gladly shifted gears and swapped out the tapered mainshaft for a modern style splined piece. Cameron got the new Delkron case powdercoated gloss black to match the motor, one thing lead to another and and we were sending out a billet BAKER 5 speed bearing door and Forged BAKER top cover for gloss black anodizing. We then machined in our BAKER Direct Drive 5 Speed logo on top of the anodizing to give a real American Hero (Ron) the transmission he deserves. We topped off the transmission with a BAKER stainless shift lever, all new polished bolts thru out and shipped the transmission back with the stock side cover as Roland is going to install one of their black anodized hydraulic side covers. Our guys did a bang up job putting it together and turned it around to California in short order, like usual. Check out the video below for the full build up of the freshened up gearset, new case, door and top cover. It really came out awesome. You can also see the 'before' pictures when it was still in the bike. We have the rendering from RSD and will post the pictures of the finished bike when we get them.

From mild to wild, a nice freshen up of your stock gearbox, a cut no corners trick out job, or anywhere in the middle. We can do it, right!
