    Default Harley 5 speed reverse

    Hi all, Happy new year to all. Im thinking of fitting an MMD reverse kit to my 88 FLHTC trike. I see that it needs an insterlation tool for about $66 to fit it.
    My question is has anyone fitted this reverse kit, is the kit rearly needed and if so would anyone that has fitted the kit have the instalation tool I could buy or borriw. Im in uk.
    Many thanks . Paul

    I had the Champion put on mine when it was built. No regrets ~ well worth the cost.

    I have installed at least 4 Reverse Gear kits on a 5 speed gear box from Champion. The kit comes with very good instructions and the tool you need to install the actual extra gears. A Dremel tool with a good stone is a plus. They also have available to purchase, puller to remove the housing. Feeler gauge and spacer rings are included in the kit as well as a few other goodies. If you are mechanically able, understand clearances and not afraid to grind out part of the housing cover for gear clearance you can do it. The manifold will need to be removed and the exhaust pipe moved out of the way. All in all the installation is simple to medium as far as difficulty. Good luck and have fun

    NO. If you remove the clutch cover and insert the reverse assembly, then replace the cover, it HAS to move it outward by some amount. I googled the MMD unit, and it looks similar to the Champion that I installed. Pix are on your other thread.

    Have you checked with MMD to see what the thickness of their unit is?

    That would be about 3/4 of an inch. Would put it very close to the exhaust pipe. Not good for the hydraulic clutch.

    another idea is to put a S bend section in the pipe
