Project FLHX BAKER, Rosa Cycles & Alloy ART

IronWorks — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:45:47 +0000

Whilst visiting the lovely state of Michigan last Spring with Meddling Editor Holdsworth, we had occasion to stop and spend time with Bert & Lisa Baker and their team of BAKER drivetrain magicians. During that conversation Bert foolishly made the offer: “if there is anything I can do to help, let me know…”. Ha, really?? Well I am not one to let an offer like that go untapped and so, the seeds for the drivetrain aspect of Project FLHX were planted, I was simply lacking a plan…..

to read the rest of the story, go get a copy of the JAN issue of IronWorks, lets get on it!

BAKER +1 Oil Pan

Snakebit Sam — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:37:53 +0000

You can reduce your engine oil temp by 10-30 degrees with the new BAKER +1 Oil Pan. The +1 Oil Pan is designed to hold an extra one quart of oil. which translates into a huge reduction in engine oil temperature. The longer and hotter the ride, the greater the temperature differential vs stock. The BAKER +1 Oil Pan comes in both 1-piece cast and 2-piece billet designs and fits 1993-2008 model year Fls.

When BAKER bought a new 2007 FL to use for 7-speed transmission development work. The first thing they, and everyone else, noticed was how hot the thing ran in traffic. The 4qt capacity seemed inadequate. So they designed a new pan in Solid Works with a 5 qt capacity by going wider not deeper, hence the +1 oil pan. The stock pan has the oil pickup and return within 2″ of each other in the front of the pan. Baker put the pickup in the rear of the +1 Oil Pan and the return in the front for better oil circulation.

To solve the problem of speed wobbles this pan works in conjunction with both types of stabilizers on the market. Two bosses were incorporated into the bottom so the heim joint of both types of stabilizers can be directly bolted to the oil pan. This tested out with both types, it really worked, no more speed wobble problems!

The BAKER 1 Oil Pans feature:
- Cast oil pans are 1-piece design and made with A356-T6 aluminum.
- Billet oil pans are 2-piece design and made with 6061-T6 aluminum.
- Stock pan feed and return lines are within 2″ of each other. BAKER pans feed in the back and return in the front for better oil circulation.
- Reduces engine oil temperature by 10-30 degrees. The longer and hotter the ride, the bigger the temperature differential as compared to stock.
- Multiple integral baffles eliminate the stock spring loaded baffle.
- Integral bosses for Alloy Art TXR and True Track stabilizers structurally located on the bottom.
- True bolt on part, no modifications required.
- Compatible with factory oil temperature sensor.
