Back To Kicking With Baker Drivetrain
For a long time now, there has been that undying love affair with kick starting a bike. Nothing screams “look how cool I am” more than climbing atop a bike, kicking that pedal down with all your might, and hearing it roar to life below you. Everyone loves the act of it. You’ll never see a crowd assemble to watch a dude push a starter button…. ‘nuff said.
With that in mind: BAKER has worked hard to think about kicking every bike humanly possible. We have kickers designed for everything – even those old 1930’s Pan, Knuckle and Shovelheads (the BAKER 6into4) – all the way to Evo style bikes (the BAKER Frankentranny). But lately our mission has been to improve upon the bolt on assemblies that are out there. Our F5K and F6K kicker kits allow you to put a kicker on any Factory 5 or 6 speed bike. You can pick your jaw up off the floor – yes, we are saying you can kick start even your bagger!
Bolt on kicker kits are nothing new. Over the years many have come and then gone for one common reason: they all relied on a ratchet hub or shaft extension that screwed on to the end of the mainshaft in place of the jam nut. They all eventually broke for the same reason: the end snapped off! But the F5K and F6K kits use a ratchet hub that presses onto the shank of the mainshaft, then the O.D. of the ratchet hub presses into the oversized door bearing – which secures it and prevents it from moving or breaking!
So BAKER developed the F5K and F6K bolt on kicker kits to prove that there are ways to kick that 5 or 6 speed to life: and not have to worry about breaking the unit!
