Choose American Horsepower of Kilowatts:
Your metrosexual neighbor with the Honda™ cruiser creeps back out of his garage by energizing a 2 HP electric motor. You back out of your garage by shifting your bike in reverse and creeping out with the power of your proud American V-twin. Electric motors are for toys.
As the Harley-Davidson™ demographic ages and grows weary of wrestling a large bike, we finally cracked and enthusiastically created the F6R. Yes, new for this year we proudly introduce the F6R reverse kit for 2007-2008 factory Cruise Drive® 6-speeds. The demand has arrived and the response has been tremendous. Large touring bike riders need not worry about getting embarrassingly stuck somewhere on a long solo trip. Side car and trailer pullers have more freedom. Keep the spirit of being powered by an American Big Twin – even in reverse!
Reverse is selected by moving the foot shift lever. Down shift into 1st gear, engage the electric safety switch near the handle bars and down shift again to select reverse. Up shift into 1st after completing the reverse maneuver to continue down the road. No burnt hands with this system.
- Available with polished, or chrome door and side cover
- Available with cable type or hydraulic clutch actuator side cover
- Internally, the shift drum indexes to select reverse. The drum inherently functions as an interlock and makes it impossible to select reverse and another gear simultaneously.
- The F6R is over designed to make it durable under all conditions. Reverse gears and dogs are fully case hardened to HRC58-62 making the F6R as durable in reverse as it is in forward gears. No soft gears with this system.
- Reverse gear ratio is 4.98:1. This compares to the 1st gear ratio of 3.34 making it 45% shorter than 1st gear. This means reverse is effectively a creeper gear. Aggressive reverse maneuvers can be performed without smoking the clutch.
- Compatible with the BAKER F6F which fixes the 5th gear nuisance noise.
- Billet trap door and side cover are available in a show polished finish or chrome plated and in hydraulic or cable. Side cover outer contour has no exhaust clearance issues with OEM*. Other significant parts of the F6R content:
