Default Dyna wheelies

The more I do wheelies on my dyna, the more stories I hear of breaking the cases at the front motor mount. Does any one have any experience with this? I am also curious about the long wheelies and shifting gears, I can bring it up in first and pop it into second without the clutch to ride a long wheelie, but I would imagine this is gonna kill my tranny. Can people bring it vertical in second? If so just talent or big power? I ride an 07 fxd with cams, appreciate any input

Yes the cases can break if you dont give it gas as your coming down, as for wheelis from second that will take some power but skill can most likely do it but either way wheelies on a harley arent very good for these bikes in the long run....
