RE: Dyna wheelies??
Use the clutch and just about any bike can be wheelied if you've got the skill. The guy wheelying this Wing was a well-known and well-liked Brit bike journo named Ron Smith. Killed while riding his scooter home from work of all things....

Thanks for posting that pic of Ron on the Gold Wing. It brings back memories. Performance Bikes was (maybe is) the best cycle mag of all time. Cheers.

Did one last year by accident on my 06 Bob. Came home from work around midnight..stopped at a stop sign in a rural area where i sometimes run her through the gears. Front came up about 2 feet..scared the crap outta me!! Somehow i remembered to keep the forks straight when i landed. Just a stage 1 setup on an 88..no problem with enough power....

Any thing with wheels can wheelie, you just gotta know what your doing lol. Rev up to 4 grand and dump your clutch and you'll be surprised what your trusty steed will do. Yeah some more HP helps and a good pipe. Check out these guys, there from my home town.

As an ex sport bike & dirt bike rider, I'm used to doing wheelies by just twisting the throttle. I've never felt like I'd even *want* to do a wheelie on my WG. Seems to me, with the added rake, the front end would take some serious abuse if I came down too hard.
I have, on a couple of occasions, when riding extremely aggressively and hitting second very hard, had the front wheel lift a few inches.
