Kevin you're the Bible of information and mechanical experience but the most touching reason of my following is your humility ... follower for life!!!

[@garybuckley1978]

Thank you for what you do. Love your instruction enormous respect from this old aussie😊

[@normanspivey6800]

Excellent instructional advice Kevin. Thank you!

[@dieterglauser249]

LOVELY THANK'S KEVIN.

[@mR_Reddexe]

I liked this video because of your comment on your grandpa's oil can. Awesome!

[@KevinBaxter]

Thank you sir. I appreciate that.

[@Hjfvvdst]

Yet another great video.

[@paulireagan4531]

Awesome teacher ... very articulate and thorough in instruction !!

[@tomjones4093]

I just found this video... I have been watching your videos for a long time. The VNV MC shifter rod really got my attention since I'm a 35 year member of the VNV MC. I really like the work you do. I may have to get with you to see if you can fix my problems I'm having with my Darkhorse comp sprocket, chain tensioner and noisy transmission. I was told I would need to replace the "countershaft low gear" on my 2010 SG to the M8 gear.

[@arkansastrey9694]

That ol skool oil can was pretty cool 😎

[@willwarro4054]

never having been into a harley trans. i was surprised just how easy it was to r&r your kit. its not like rebuilding stern drives on powerboats. those are a real pain. but the funny part is just how identical with bearing pullers, seal drivers, etc they both are. you were spot on with the installation. excellent. now only if my road king had already come with your 7 speed that would ice my cake. it just shows me how little r&d they put into building something that could be better. engines, trans, etc. and how they wait until their customers are so pissed off to make the necessary improvements. my first gear is like taking off in second in my dads pickup. it draaaags @$$! specially with a passenger on a hill. from a stop. they must use anorexic people they design by. and not real average weight people and gear.

[@MoooseRivera]

Thanks! I'm tackling a DD7 install this weekend and appreciate the tips!

[@dwainphillips8310]

Kevin, OUTSTANDING! A BIG thumbs up!

[@KevinBaxter]

Thanks for the kind words Anthony. I appreciate you watching. Best of luck sir.

[@Simbo551]

Outstanding video.

[@KevinBaxter]

Thanks Bob

[@1Dcorace]

I love the attention to detail and seal precautions, use of the proper tools, and Pap's oil can. The audio was much better in the 2nd video, both were great for detail. I've had good performance from Spectro 6-Speed 75-140 in the transmissions. I'ts the only synthetic I use. Motor and primary chain case are both dinosaur, Valvoline Premium Blue, class 8 over the road truck motor oil.

[@jorluivil]

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@KevinBaxter]

Thanks for following and for the kind words. Please subscribe and check out other videos as well...try to keep folks informed.

[@loupuleff571]

makes it look easy when you know what your doing !!

[@KevinBaxter]

True. And seeing how one goes together gives a person an opportunity to assess their own abilities to determine if they should pay someone to do it or not.

[@MrStingray186]

Thanks Kevin ..Great video. I wanted to put a dd7 in my SG and thanks to your vid it's not so intimidating. I live in Oceanside close to San Diego being warm year round I will also be changing my trans oil to 80 wt non detergent today. Will be contacting you in a few months when I'm ready to go with the dd7 thanks again Kevin.

[@gregkistner1955]

Definitely looks like a stout transmission set!

[@chrismorris9065]

Much better sound quality :-)

[@KevinBaxter]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. If you need any parts in the future, give us a call. We work with pretty much all manufacturers directly. Good luck with your install.

[@ryang55691]

Kevin Baxter where do you get the bearing install and removal tools?

[@codypeck6611]

Good video! Getting ready to do mine. Did you not change the counter shaft bearing?

[@dejonsmall9886]

Kevin, great job. Should I upgrade my 12 FLHTK I will be contacting Pro Twin Performance to do the job.

[@BoobsAdmin]

Hi! I have a backlash between "LEVER, SHIFTER ROD" and "LEVER ASSEMBLY, SHIFTER PAWL". My mileage is 47k miles. What is the probability of wear and tear of "LEVER ASSEMBLY, SHIFTER PAWL"? Thank you so much for great videous!

[@highjackedbike]

After my build, my main bearing may be bad. Any deals coming up on a Grudge Box?

[@JPPerformance360]

Countershaft needle bearing when you replace it do you push it in from the outside since it is a blind bearing

[@fredgemigniani589]

Hey bro: Let me know when you have that Spring Blowout sale. On Baker DD7 trans For my M8 touring.

[@tobpitbull]

A few things that I’ve heard are a down side not mentioned? 1. The ECM needs to be re programmed for gear ratios? 2. As well I’m told cruise control won’t be proper or work with this? What about these 2 questions? I have a DD7 new in garage that is a winter project but these 2 questions I’ve seen as down grades? I definitely don’t want to lose cruise control, and what happens to the 6 gear green light when applying? Does it this work in 6 gear or go out? Thanks in advance

[@mc7804]

Which bearing tool are you using, do you have a name and part number. Thanks Mike

[@BigFiveJack]

At 13:08 you are reinstalling the side cover that has the words SIX SPEED on it, and that's not your fault, but darn!

[@hahaharich5643]

Link to the special tools you used for this removal/install?

[@liamstandish878]

how often do u change out the 80w90 when u use it??

[@edmundwasilewski]

👍🇰🇾

[@keithmitchem5804]

Why does the DD7 not have the Baker tapered main bearing conversion?? It came with my Baker Grudgebox.

[@KevinBaxter]

It does now. That video was post many years ago before the tapered main was developed.

[@fireboyisme]

Another great video. Will the DD7 work in a 5 speed case? I have a 2000 Ultra Classic Id like to upgrade.

[@KevinBaxter]

Thank you so much. No...DD7 wont work in the 5spd case but a 6 speed will. I'll be back in the shop Tuesday. Give me a call at 6782269651 and we can discuss options and get one ordered for you.

[@cliffjockisch9463]

I'm in my 3rd shifter pawl spring keeps popping off

[@anthonyiannone7618]

shouldn't you be bearing on the outer race when your pressing the main drive gear bearing into the trans case?

[@KevinBaxter]

There is virtually zero resistance on that bearing. You can almost do it by hand. I only use the tool to make sure it's square.

[@ronakjbabar]

can we put DD7 Instead DD5?

[@irakli9604]

Where can I find press fit lube ?

[@666SeeR999]

How did you clean inner transmission case?

[@KevinBaxter]

Flush with non chlorinated brake cleaner

[@666SeeR999]

@@KevinBaxter thanks.
