Two years ago, with the increasing number of touring bikes on the road, Baker introduced the F6R: Factory 6 Reverse. This innovation proved to be quite popular and helpful to our customers with late model Harley-Davidsons™ and Baker DD7’s. But our customers with Factory 5 speeds and Baker DD6’s requested an easier, more dependable reverse system for their bikes as well. Well, no longer do you have to wrestle that large bagger out of a tight parking situation. Baker announces the release of the F5R: Factory 5 speed Reverse system. With the F5R, large touring bike riders need not worry about getting stuck somewhere without a buddy to help push them backwards. The F5R can also benefit trikes, bikes with sidecars and trailers! Maintain the freedom of being powered by an American Big Twin – even in reverse!
