Oh, the challenges some V-Twin riders have to endure. They own a newly bored and re-jetted long stroke motor that needs ton’s of starting juice but can’t keep a starter for more than a few months at a time. What’s a fella to do? Well, Baker has heard your cries and come out with a 3hp (2.3 kilowatts for our metric folks) starter! As custom builders we’re frequently lead to believe (yes we can be fooled too) that when we buy a starter from one of our suppliers (not all, but some) we’re actually going to receive a “new” one. But what we get is a “rebuilt” starter. One that have been “remanufactured” using rebuilt (used) cores and sold as new. And yes, the O.E. Harley starters may have the durability but don’t have the juice. Bakers new Firestarters are the most powerful starters available and each unit is tested on a dynamometer for proper function and has an individual dyno sheet to validate the output. If you want to see one, click HERE.
The Firestarters comes in show chrome finish with a polished end cap and are available in conventional remote start as well as manual push button. However they won’t fit FLs due to clearance issues. For more info on these starter go to Baker’s site! So, now all you big twin owners won’t have to be asking “Hey buddy, can i get a jump here?”

Hey, thanks for coming back! Great to see there are a few of you out there that have taste and style! Seriously, thanks for visiting. If you know of stories you think people would be interested in, shoot us a line C'ya!
