freethefly 6 #2 August 26, 2011 I fear that the secondary belt on my Fatboy breaking in the middle of nowhere and my cell phone being out of charge. Not like the good old days. Break the chain? Easy fix. Cut a piece of wire from a fence and away you go! This is the kinda shit that keeps me up at night. That, and syndication t.v. shows.

Extra master linkin my gear, no problem. But you will feel this kinda kick in the ass thing going on for a while before the belt goes completely out . Also you know, to convert secondary belt to chain isn't hard at all and doesn't cost all that much don't ya'? NO FEAR !!!

Changing the belt sucks as the swing arm needs to be removed and the primary disassembled. New belt and gasket kit is required. If you are not able to do the work yourself, as I am. It can be very costly. Minus labor, it is still not cheap. Doing it yourself and you're still looking at over $350.00I just might swap to a chain.

wmw999 2,149 #8 August 26, 2011 I fear others' opinions of me. I realize that's a weakness (if nothing else, generally those opinions aren't too bad, and I'm not that important anyway). But I've always been that way; haven't been able to fix it yet, although I'm getting better about not caring.

Simply stop by your local police department daily before you return home , remove your shoes and ask them to inspect them for bombs. That should alleviate your fears!

Yeah thanks but and I will be rebuilding this one into a six to go into another bike I've been working on but right now , timewise , I need a complete drop in tranny.

freethefly 6 #21 August 26, 2011 QuoteDo you have an opinion as to the Jims vs the Baker? Jims is pretty much a Baker as Baker gave license to Jims some years ago to build a 6 speed (license did expire a while back and Jims is on their own now.) Baker was the first to build the 6. Both use Andrews gears. If I were to outright swap, I'd go with the Baker. Either way you go, you're looking at more than 3K for a Baker 6 speed and more than 2K for a Jims. Baker tends to have a better reputation. Plus they are 100% American made."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Those prices seem fair but I get a kinda freind of ours deal. I'm just wondering if the Baker is that much better than the Jims.
