BAKER F6R Reverse Kit Installation Instructions
Below you will find brief information for Reverse Kit F6R. The BAKER F6R Reverse kit is an innovative drivetrain component that provides a smooth and easy way to put your motorcycle in reverse. It utilizes an electric solenoid that is activated by a toggle switch and is designed to work with the stock foot shifter lever. The BAKER F6R Reverse system is a creeper gear.

O verv i ew
In our plight for Drivetrain perfection, we have come out with another innovation to make the riding experience on your American motorcycle, the pleasure it should be. We are proud to announce the re lease of the BAKER Reverse Kit, F6R for short.The BAKER Reverse system is unlike any other on the market in that it works off the stock foot shifter lever. With the simple hit of the Reverse Safety Toggle
Switch, and a flick of your foot, you are in Reverse. It is that simple. No reaching near hot pipes to put a bike in Reverse anymore. The BAKER Reverse system is designed so that it is impossible to get a bike locked in 1st and Reverse, like on some other models out there. Additionally the Reverse Gears are all fully heat treated, diamond ground, gear grade 8620 steel. The BAKER Reverse shift drum also improves greatly over the ability to find neutral than stock. With an overall 4.98:1 gear ratio in Reverse, 45% shorter than the stock 3.34:1 first gear, it is essentially a creeper gear.

The BAKER F6R System is designed in such a manner that any competent mechanic or dealership that is familiar with the new H-D Cruise Drive Transmissions can handle the job. While regularly refer ring to the Factory Service Manual for your bike, (A must for this kit) as well our multiple diagrams and in depth instructions, there should not be any issues with the conversion process. While the BAKER F6R was designed to be as easy an install as possible, this is probably not the job for a weekend war rior as there is no substitute for experience.

Whereas it may seem as we are skimming over many of the steps, your Factory Service Manual will lay out in detail the proper methods for removal and reassembly of the components listed out in the steps within these instructions. Softails, Dyna’s and FLT/FLH’s are all different configurations and require a different order and method to accomplish the various steps.If you are in the process of installing a
Lehman Trike Conversion, wait until after you complete the BAKER F6R installation to remove the rear wheel, swingarm, and rear brake.

Now is a good time to get out a couple of drain pans and drain the primary fluid as well as the transmission fluid. For location of the applicable drain plugs, check your Factory Service Manual.
Next remove the saddlebags, (if applicable), then the floorboards/pegs and the pipes. Remember to disconnect the O2 sensor plugs from the pipes so as to not damage them when pulling the pipes off.
Unbolt the starter, pull it out and set aside on your workbench. Pull off the outer primary, the primary chain, clutch assembly and the inner primary. Having a drip pan underneath the bike when you are taking off the outer primary is a great idea as residual oil will get all over your lift or garage floor depending on your work environment. Pull the bearing race found on the mainshaft next with your Inner Race Service tool. You can not pull the gearset out of the case without first removing this bearing race.
Loosen the bolts on the transmission side cover, pull it off detach from the clutch cable and set it aside.
The side cover along with the factory ball and ramp will not reused with the BAKER F6R kit.

Remove the top cover and set aside, this is necessary so that you can pull the shifter pawl off of the drum when you remove the entire gearset and trap door assembly. According to the Factory Service Manual, you want to place the shifter pawl on the top cover mounting surface with the gasket acting as a ‘pad’ while pulling the gearset.
Using a 1-1/16” 6 pt socket, you need to loosen the nylock jam nuts on both the countershaft and mainshaft before you remove the gearset from the case. A good trick is to stand with your right foot on the rear brake pedal while trying to loosen the jam nuts with a breaker bar.

Now you can unbolt the trap door from the case and pull the gearset. Lightly tap on the end of the mainshaft on the primary side with a rubber mallet to loosen the entire gearset and trap door from the case.
You do not need to loosen the drive sprocket or remove the 6th main bottle gear to install this kit.

Once you have successfully removed the gearset from the case and have it sitting with the trap door on a workbench with the shafts pointing in the air, refer to your Factory Service Manual for the safe and efficient way to strip the assembly down to the trap door. You will be reusing the mainshaft and all of its gears.
Following the service manual, disassemble the countershaft down to 5th gear. You will then need to use a Split Bearing Press Tool to ‘press’ the stock 5th gear off of the countershaft. You then, similar to the pic ture, need to press the gear off of the shaft. You must ensure that you have everything lined up completely vertical and parallel to the ram on the press. Getting the gear cocked or crooked on the shaft can and will result in both gear and countershaft damage.

1. Once you have removed the stock 5th gear from the Countershaft, you are ready to press that gear onto the BAKER Reverse Countershaft. Flip the shaft and tool over and press the gear onto the shaft in the manner demonstrated in the figures
9 and 10. Make sure to press the 5th gear snout firmly to the right against 6th gear. It is critical for the overall spacing of the gears down the countershaft.
2. Once you have successfully pressed the 5th
Counter gear onto the shaft you are ready to reas semble the countershaft. Carefully following the service manual, reassemble the stock gears back onto the countershaft, making sure that the gears are free of dirt and debris and that the needle bearings are well lubricated with transmission fluid before you put them onto the BAKER Reverse
Countershaft. The one variant in the assembly of the Countershaft gear stack is that we do not re-use the spacer (H-D P/N: 5387A) between 1st gear and the bearing in the door. We instead use
P/N LS2542 as laid out in the BAKER Reverse
Bearing Door assembly view in figure 1.

1. In an attempt as to not dislodge any of the thrust washers or split securing segments, do not tip over or lay the countershaft on its side until you have pressed it into the provided
BAKER Reverse Bearing Door. Feed the free end of the Countershaft through the bearing door and position it in a press as seen in Figures 11 and 12. We found the using the steel tube from the Inner Race Installation tool works great as a press tool for pressing the Countershaft assembly into the bearing door. If you do not have one or do not have room in your press, you need to use a sufficiently strong steel tube that ‘lands’ on the
Countershaft bearing inner race within the bearing door. You must only press on the inner race of the bearing,

3. Align the Mainshaft in the bearing door in the same manner as found in figures 13 and 14. The
Mainshaft Pinion Gear is what is pressed onto the Mainshaft and it needs to pushed on with the Press similar to figures 13 and 14. DO NOT PUSH ON ANY PART OF THE DOOR WITH THE PRESS TO
INSTALL THE MAINSHAFT INTO THE BEARING DOOR. Take your time while pressing the mainshaft into place to make sure the gears are meshing together. Using a free hand to ‘jostle’ the Countershaft while pressing the Mainshaft into the door is a good way to make sure that the gears are meshing and not bound up.

With the pinion gear fully bottomed out on the end of the Mainshaft, you are ready to move forward with the next step. With the 2 shafts completely assembled and pressed into the bearing door, bolt the bearing door into the case (with the door gasket in place) with the provided 5/16 -18 Socket Head Cap
Screws. Make sure that the Countershaft Bearing Retainer Plate is not on the bearing door at this time to ensure full socket contact on the Countershaft Base Nut. With the snout of the Countershaft Base Nut facing the bearing, torque both both the Mainshaft Retainer Nut and the Countershaft Base Nut to 45-55 ft/lbs with ‘Red’ Thread Lock. Using the rear brake/ right foot technique is necessary to achieve the full torque values. When you have tightened the two shafts nuts, install the Countershaft retainer plate with the provided 1/4”-20 x 5/8” button head cap screws. Using ‘Red’ Thread Lock, Torque the Retainer Plate
Screws to 130 inlbs. Pull the gearset back out of the transmission case in preparation for assembly of the shift system.

2. Pull the Detent Lever out of the way of the drum (see Service Manual) and slide the drum through from the inside of the bearing door through the bearing that is already pressed into the door. It is a tight slip fit so it may take a little wiggling to get the drum to seat against the drum bearing inner race. When the
Shift Drum is all the way in, you can let go of the detent lever. Following Figure 16, and using the provided
BAKER Shift Drum socket, grab on the other end of the drum with an adjustable wrench and tighten the drum nut onto the Shift Drum. The shift drum nut is directional, install with the round snout pointing inward to land on the inner race of the shift drum bearing. Tighten the drum nut to 25 ft/lbs using ‘Red’ Thread
Lock.

3. The stock shift forks and fork rods will be reused. While referencing the Factory Service Manual, slide the shift forks into their corresponding fork grooves on the stock dog clutches. With the forks in their correct positions, and the pins residing within the correct shift track on the drum, slide the fork rods into place through the shift forks and into the fork rod bores within the back of the BAKER Reverse
Door. Lubing the fork rods with transmission fluid before installation is a good measure of proactive wear resistance. Once the fork rods are in their correct positions, tap on the ends of them with a ball peen hammer until they ‘Dead Head’ into the bottom of the fork rod bores. You have now successfully assembled the Reverse Gearset Cassette to the point that you can bolt it in the case for good.

5. With the bearing door securely in place and torqued, put the shifter pawl down onto the shift pins on the end of the drum through the top cover opening.
6. This is a great time to check your work in assembling the F6R Gearset Cassette. With the bike safely supported and the back tire off of the ground, spin the back tire by hand and shift the bike forward and in reverse through all 6 gears. You will have to spin the tire at a pretty decent clip to get the transmission to shift smoothly. What you are mostly checking is that it easily finds each gear and that you can find neutral without any issues.
7. Once you are satisfied with the function and you know that the transmission will shift, you can bolt on the top cover at this time and torque it down to 110 in-lbs, using ‘Blue’ Thread Lock. Do not bolt in the right rear bolt on the top cover at this time; you need to thread it in later when you install the Reverse
Solenoid Wiring Harness.

Make sure that the 2 wires coming off of the Solenoid are neatly tucked away from the exhaust and are zip tied to the neutral and sensor wires that run in the same area.
When you have successfully reassembled your motorcycle, take the time to double check that you have replaced all of the parts and that none are left on the lift /garage floor, work bench etc. Double check to make sure that you put Primary and Transmission Fluid in the bike. Take the time to double check the drain plugs are tight and to wipe down the bearing door, side cover and primary to make sure there are no leaks after the maiden voyage.

In order to shift the motorcycle into Reverse, you need to be at a complete stop in First Gear. You pull the clutch in, hold the Reverse Safety Toggle Switch and then using the Foot Shifter, push it DOWN into
Reverse. Once it has shifted into Reverse, you can and need to let go of the Reverse Safety Toggle
Switch. (Holding the switch on for extended periods of time will burn out the solenoid) Then you let out the clutch and apply the throttle similar to slowly maneuvering your bike a tight parking lot. When done backing the bike up, with the bike stopped, grab the clutch and using the foot shifter, shift UP into 1st gear. You do not need to hit the Reverse Safety Switch to shift the bike back into 1st gear. Once back into
1st gear, make sure by pushing down on the Shift Lever that you can not go back into Reverse, that let’s you as the rider know that the Safety Lever is doing it’s job by blocking you from shifting into Reverse without hitting the Reverse Safety Toggle Switch. Once securely back into 1st gear, you are free to ride around with the stock 16 shift pat tern.
