I have no intention of trying to do a transmission but your videos sure are entertaining, I'm always interested in how things work, thanks

[@KevinBaxter]

This isnt something most DIY would tackle. Takes a lot of tools and there isnt much margin for error. Thanks for watching!

[@darrell3368]

Thanks for sharing Kelven love the shows and learning a lot thanks

[@KevinBaxter]

Glad you like them! thank you sir.

[@michaelscully8461]

2007 ultra, at 32k the main shaft bearing was howling. Also, the splines inside the clutch drum were broke half way up the shaft. Anyway, this was all because of the factory automatic primary chain adjuster. I put a se manual adjuster and se compensator in, bike runs and starts great now, with 65k miles. Love your videos!

[@KevinBaxter]

exactly sir...very common results from those things.

[@Tryke_Ryder]

If I have my transmission laid out on a piece of cardboard, I am already screwed!!! 🤣😎🤣

[@johnkenneally4662]

Transmissions seem very complicated. Might as well be Quantum physics to me. Motors I can understand. Great video. I have a Twin cam Harley.

[@larrys.3992]

Jack & Coke with Tool Tech Tuesday. Good stuff!

[@jackklarich7045]

Thanks for all your videos. You explain things without the BS coming from most techs.

[@donfossett5029]

Thank you Kevin for taking the time to educate us , if it weren't for guys like you i probably would not have been able to do half of the things i manage to do, your time is very much appreciated!!!

[@KevinBaxter]

Youre welcome. thanks for the kind words Don. All the best!

[@mitchelldarnell5334]

That was a quick tear down😜😁

[@KevinBaxter]

Superfast. Wish i could do that in "real life". LOL

[@usmcdoc2512]

This is more educational than when I went to MMI. 🇺🇸

[@lawnboyfromhell]

Thanks for the vid, I have done 4 speeds and 5 speeds and I have a 6 speed in a box out of 2007 Street Glide that we replaced with a Baker 7. I was always going to rebuild it, but I like to watch an expert before I jump in to projects like this. I'm not sure how bad it's going to be, it has 80,000kms on it and took the main drive gear bearing out due to HD's famous primary chain tensioner from Hell. We put the Baker Attitude Adjuster in on the install to prevent that from happening again.

[@Rikasso66]

Great videothank you. The music was on point as well..

[@KevinBaxter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@61espo]

Thanks Kevin! Always great material! Unfortunately my work schedule only allows me watch after you’ve done it live!. You have the best channel on the tube!

[@KevinBaxter]

i appreciate that very much sir. you can replay the chats if youd like to read what were saying, during the video when you watch it. all the best.

[@61espo]

@@KevinBaxter Thanks Kevin I appreciate the hard work you do and I’m going to make a trip down to Winder Georgia sometime in the next 6 to 7 months to have you look at my 2006 deluxe. It runs great and has a Andrews 26 cam in it when the dealer put the Screaming eagle cam plate with the hydraulic tensioners in and changed the inner can bearings and they also put a Vance and Hines programmer but I feel I can get more out of it so I’m going to make the 13 hour drive and I would like you too maybe make it bigger or a different cam setup without that Vance & Hines programmer in it. So basically what I would want is the bike “Bulletproofed like some of your customers ask you to do. That bike is in like new show room looking condition. My brother passed away and left it to me and the bike spent most of it’s life in Palm Beach Florida. It was was also never ridden in the rain so it’s in pristine condition and it also has some special sentimental value to me. So I’m hoping I see you in the next 6 to 7 months. I will most definitely call ahead of time and schedule an appointment with you. Thank you very much again for all your hard work and the sharing of these excellent video series!

Thanks for the video Kevin. Great info!

I love these tips vids. I'm also super interested in transmissions!

[@jimbrandie4414]

Just awesome

[@KevinBaxter]

thank you for watching.

[@jakeaurelius5600]

Awesome job ! Love these videos !

[@DONALD-MAGA]

I love watching your videos and anticipate new ones. I know you must be busy but wondering when you will continue this transmission rebuild and other engine tear down videos? Thanks.

[@richardboggs260]

Hello everyone I am ready with a Woodford Reserve!!!

[@KevinBaxter]

OH man....good choice!!!

[@marktulay4011]

Kevin.. good day boss. Just a a very quick question? Have you ever herd a exhaust VALVE SPRING snap or cut in half. In a M8 CVO street glide. Rear exhaust valve spring snap in to half????

[@KevinBaxter]

sure...it happens. not real common but have seen quite a few.

[@garyclay7140]

Nice Video

[@kennybridges9693]

Hi Kevin: Have been enjoying your videos very much. I grew up in Tulare Ca. on the track. Had a very fast half mile track in our town. ( as it turned out track was much faster than me.) Haven't been on a bike in 35 years. In my retirement now. Looking at buying an older Road King. I have no problem turning a wrench. My question is about Transmission wear. What king of mileage would be excessive for a transmission? 5 speed or 6 speed ( given previous owner wasn't a drag racer.)

[@henrya-hill6245]

Hello from Norway. Love your videos! Looking for part two of the Harley Transmission rebuild - where can I find it? Have to rebuild my own 6 speed transmission after primary tensioner failure.-)

[@is1available]

Got it apart. great video. when is part 2 out

[@georgespain6121]

Kevin, I am looking a 107 build by ProTwin for my 08 Fatbob. I currently have an 103 in the bike with modifications it makes 109hp and 109tq. I use it more as a hot rod than two up riding even though at times my wife will ride with me. I would like to know what hp and tq rating I might expect switching to a 107. I want it built up with a bulletproof bottom end (new straight crank, cams with gears, s&s cam plate, etc). I will be using my D&D Fatcat exhaust (unless you know of a better alternative). Everything else would be what you put in it. The heads have been ported by Wolfgang Glasser out of Baytown TX. I have the flow sheets for the head if you need them. It currently has a 50mm throttle body (not sure what injectors), but that like anything else can be upgraded by your advise. Would like to see 120+tq with 115+hp if possible. Please let me know if this is possible with a 107. I would also like to schedule a consultation for this build when ever we can get together. Thanks again and keep those videos coming, love you work.

[@jeffreyengle2762]

Are the bearings in the “Jim’s rebuild kit” Actually any better than stock bearings? Or are they simply stock bearings packaged in the kit.

[@Leroyco2244]

Did you find out about the bearings are they better now

[@kerrylewis2581]

Kevin, Let the viewers know the mileage. As you know I have almost 130,000 miles on my FLHTK and have concerns about the bearings.

[@KevinBaxter]

good advice. thanks!

[@adventuremanintheclouds8968]

Ok and where is part 2? It's not in the description or the comments. Am I supposed to guess?

[@america1723]

Yes. Use your hand as a 🔨 to remove the gear set

[@KevinBaxter]

If it wasnt a total rebuild, a puller wouldve been involved. It didnt take much anyway...the gasket had been leaking and wasnt stuck.

[@america1723]

@@KevinBaxter I was just joking my friend

[@ussenterprisenxo1]

Is this same as the revtech 6 speed?

[@bobbybailey9693]

So, the Part II will be next Tuesday?

[@KevinBaxter]

in about 2 weeks. i wont be posting a video next week....biz trip.

[@arkansastrey9694]

Man , I was changing my gear oil and a single little ball bearing fell out of drain hole , also had moderate amout of shavings on magnet .....odd part is its been shifting just fine????

[@Gnarlys_Garage]

Trap door bearing. Did you also have black plastic?

2019 CVO STREET GLIDE STAGE 4 zero km

[@karlreinke]

If a transmission itself (not the clutch) needs repair before 80,000 miles that is totally unacceptable.

[@KevinBaxter]

his is actually in great shape. all gaskets and seals were leaking but he had over 100,000 miles on it. im very impressed by the internal wear...but...he takes very good care of his scooter.

[@jrtmanmd]

Can't find part 2?

[@remusrayrizea111]

Why do I get my notification hours late. Like this one two hours after it was posted. Very disappointed

[@KevinBaxter]

Not sure about that. Notifications should come right away. I post based on eastern time zone...maybe that has something to do with it?

[@remusrayrizea111]

@@KevinBaxter G'morning Kevin . I seriously doubt time zone has anything to do with it. It shouldn't. If it does.... well... so much for live action 😥

[@kerrylewis2581]

Tripe R, I received a Gmail message just as the video started and noticed the upcoming event by accident. This happens with others I follow as well on KZbin. If I have time I'll do some searching and see if there is a reason.

[@skippynj1979]

Those tools make it look like cheating

[@joigiovanni]

Hopefully you see this. We recently bought everything individually to rebuild the transmission minus new bearings. The transmission will free spin until we torque down the nuts and then it won’t spin at all. It’s like it’s completely locked up. Any idea what that might be?
