Everyday BAKER Drivetrain talks to customers who are building radical customs or upgrading existing bikes. BAKER learned that most of the performance starters out there have notorious durability problems and that they are manufactured with rebuilt (used) cores and sold as new. In addition, the O.E Harley starter is durable but lacks cranking power, so BAKER Drivetrain decided to get involved.

The new BAKER Firestarter is the most powerful starter available and durable from the first start. Each unit is tested on a dynamometer for proper function and has an individual dyno sheet to validate the output. Units typically dyno at 2.3±.1 kilowatts; that's 3-horsepower for us English speaking folks. That's huge - if not the biggest. Meanwhile, the amperage drain is still considered low. Big dog uses a similar version of the Firestarter in their later motorcycles and they've been proven to be durable on their big-inch choppers.

The Firestarter has a stylish show chrome finish with a stylish, polished billet aluminum end cap. Available as a conventional remote start button type or as a manual push button type for those who want the clean minimalist look. The manual version features a Teflon lined button shaft that is longer than normal, which allows a smoother, non-binding operation that prevents wear or jamming.
