Default fx? pulling a wheelie

A guy pulled up to me at the light tonight on his fx?. The light turned green and we let the hammers drop. This dude pulled away riding a wheelie. Blew me away. Never seen it pulled off on a Harley before. I'm going to find a place to work on this trick(with a helmet of course)

I know, I know, It sounds childish, but it was one of the coolest things to see. Being a fellow FXR owner.
ps just kidding about trying to learn how to do it.(with a helmet that is)

How much h/p and torque does someone need to be able to lift a Harley off the ground like that? There is no way thats stock...

Default RE: fx? pulling a wheelie

Never had much use for wheelies outside of the MX track, but made a right turn onto an entrance ramp on my chopper one day. Lined up with the uphill ramp and nailed it when I shifted to second, to my surprise the front tire lifted about 2 ft in the air. Having experienced wheelies before, I just rode it out, just shocked that my 80"er would even do it. It was a real rush but nothing like the videos.

Holy ****!! Always be sure of your landing area!! Man, that's amazing how the bike goes from almost grinding pegs on one side, then flips over and lands on the other side. At least it looked like his pride was the most damaged part.

My first wheelie on my lowrider the air pressure was low in the tire. I had a nail in it. Boy that was fun to know it would do wheelies.
