Get rolling about 10mph
Load forks with frt brake and body
Dump clutch while WFO and immediatley
Pull up shifting *** rearward
Hang on, feather rear brake if she wants to come too far over
Repeat as soon as you come down in 1st for a good long wheelie in 2nd.
If done on asphalt youll just do a whole shot, find nice rough cement road
Dont hold me liable for accident or injury

It's hard to imagine but ...
Yesterday I wanted to overtake a slow moving, left turner by using the width of merging lane that was still there along the right shoulder. Well, so did 3 other guys in front of me just as I was pulling up along side of each one of them. I kept moving ahead and over so I goosed it hard in first and when I let the clutch snap on second my wife and I was flying just ahead of the herd on one wheel.
I swear I never thought that once it was rolling that a big old Glide like mine would ever consider raising the front wheel.
I blinked and I was in 3rd gear and running close to 70 already.
Would have liked to seen that move in slow motion playback ... LOL
Rev the hell out of first and bang second. I didn't have to shift my body or pull up on the bars.
I've done this before to a lesser degree while really launching the bike from a stop, but never felt the bike lift up off the road.
It seems like second gear has a strong pulling ratio at the RPMS that I hit it with. It wasn't no wheel stander but it was a thrill.

But... In all seriousness, put as much weight rearward as you can. Sit as far back as your leg reach will allow. Gas it hard in first and let off. As soon as you feel the forks compress, roll the throttle back as hard as you can. This will get you used to the feeling of lifting the front. You will get a few inches this way. I would master this before the dump-the-clutch method.
