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

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.

 

With 100hp you should be able to do it from second. Try it second will help not spin the rear tire as much.

 

Damn so what is it then

 

You wanna have fun on your Harley??? You can't do that, you will break it...........LOL!

 

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.

 

It makes me wonder why people wanna do wheelies on their harleys.... thats just stupid. get a sport bike if thats what you want to do

 

Pleas explain why it's stupid? Why does someone need a sport bike to do a wheelie?

 

It makes me wonder why someone (who thinks wheelies are stupid) would read a thread about wheelie techniques ......then try to rain on their parade. That's stupid. Sounds to me like your scared do try it.

 

Worked for me. first ride on my bob after I had the 120R installed I accidentally pulled the front wheel up in second and it wasn't that hard.
