Most likely, most people who do chain conversion also change the gearing for more torque. That helps a bit and also the tires make a big difference. When I was running the Commander II's it was harder to get the bike up compared to the Avon Cobra's I run now. The Night Dragons are super sticky like mmeist said, but they wear pretty quick. Also like Vdop said, you can let a little bit of air out of the rear and that will help. As far as practicing I am sure its not good for your clutch. I run a Primo Rivera pro clutch and it takes a beating and has held up just fine over the years.

Are going for the look of running both or do you just want a tach to see RPM's? I run a Daytona digital speedo on mine, has a tach built in...

All I can seem to do is spin the tire. I get the bike to lurch or decompress the forks but the wheel doesn't come off.
I definitely want to learn though. Sport bike just throttle work brought the wheel up. In a Harley I'm hesitant and iffy on what I'm doing
I need some guidance.

What year bike for the tech if it's 09-12 any bagger tech will work just need to wire it up.
Oh and if you can't pop a wheelie with a stock belt there is no reasons to go chain driven. Your gonna hurt yourself.

I'll mange to find the sweet spot.... Get the front up a few feet and ride it for about 30ft.... Then when I continue to try and end of spinning the tire.... I guess I get too excited and let my emotions break my concentration haha.... Sport bikes I would wheelie front 1st-6th.... Dirt bikes and dual sports I'll ride them until I run out of road or lose my balance point and rely on motor....
This damn Harley comes up so fast and if you aren't ready, she'll slam back down and scare the crap outta you. Now with my rifle fairing in worried about slamming the front end down....
For now I'll just ride around and look like I can wheelie haha..... And drifting from a stop looks pretty cool as well lol
