BAKER Drivetrain | The Drivetrain Authority - Torque Box Softail Transmission for Custom Motorcycle only

The torque output of an engine is proportional to the bore and stroke. Engines make torque and drivetrain components take torque. It is torque,  not horsepower that destroys clutches, transmissions, and drive belts. The torque capacity of a transmission is proportional to the gear width and the center distance between the two shafts with the center distance being the most important variable. EXAMPLE:The small front wheel drive cars at GM like the Cavalier and Cobalt have a Getrag F23 manual transmission with a center distance of roughly 3.0”*. Bert designed this transmission for GM.  The torque capacity of that unit is 165 ft-lbs. The Tremec (Borg Warner-based)  T56 that goes in the Corvettes has a center distance of roughly 3.75” and has  a torque capacity of 450 ft-lbs. By increasing the center distance 25% the  torque capacity increased 173%. A small increase in center distance yields big increases in torque capacity. All stock Harley transmissions and aftermarket transmissions have a centre distance of 2.5”*. By increasing the center distance 20% to 3.0” the Torquebox conservatively increases the torque capacity to 250 ft-lbs, continuous duty! In the early Torquebox design stages, the goal was set to design a continuous duty 250 ft-lb gearbox that visually looked like a 450 ft-lb gearbox on the outside. We achieved this by taking design cues from classic race-bred American superchargers and not having any excess material, anywhere. We achieved our goal. At Biketoberfest 2005, the Torquebox was unveiled and caught the eye of Kendall Johnson. Regarded as the premier performance engine builder in our industry, he called it “…all business!”. The Torquebox is available as a 5 or 6-speed, left or right side drive.
The 6-speed is identical to the 5-speed except for the addition of two gears  and a different drum. The right side drive version is the same as the left except for the mainshaft. All frame, starter, and clutch interfaces are identical  to stock 2.5”-based designs. Shift system design innovations and hardware give  light, short, precise, crotch rocket type shifts For a given amount of torque, a larger center distance transmission  must be used in a car as compared to a motorcycle because vehicle weight  becomes a significant variable. The ultimate transmission for custom use

BAKER Drivetrain | The Drivetrain Authority - XL6 Six-Speed Overdrive Conversion Kit 91-94 Harley-Davidson Sportster & Buell Motorcycle

The BAKER™ XL6 is a six-speed overdrive ‘cartridge style’ gearset that converts  any existing 1991-2003 Sportster/Buell to a BAKER™ six speed. 2nd through 5th gear ratios are effectively the same as stock, 6th gear is a true overdrive. Stock gear widths in 1st through 5th were retained and a beefy 6th gear was added. This was accomplished by utilizing an exclusive BAKER dog tooth  design that is an industry first for American motorcycles. OVER a 500 RPM drop in top-gear cruising RPM at 75 MPH REDUCED vibration. IMPROVED fuel economy. REDUCED wear and tear on your engine. SMOOTHER shifting and improved neutral finding. XL6 Kits include: 6061-T6 trap door, Complete gearset including shafts and gears, less the 5th (maindrive) gear pair.  Gearset is assembled to the trap door including bearings, ball bearings, thrust washers, and retainging rings. Shift drum and detent plate with optimized geometry. No flimsy retaining clip to hold the detent plate to the drum. Ours is bolted on with a machine screw. Low effort detent spring. Three billet steel shift forks with roller pins and cotter pins. Steel template for accurate case modification. ‘XL6’ engraved derby cover (Part#’s 202 & 203).
