A lot of stunt bikes have a rear brake lever on the handlebars. If you don't know how to use the rear brake to your benefit you don't know how to wheelie on a balance point.
Your right wasnt tryin to get in a pissin contest... I guess ill just have to make my front end a little lighter, and do a little work so I can torque a couple up myself....

Me either. The 49mm front end isn't quite as heavy as you might think. The tubes are really thin. I haven't gotten a chance to weigh them and compare yet though, I've been wanting to. Your fat bob does have the wider trees and the heavy wheel/tire and dual discs though. Doesn't it also have forward controls? Also gotta remember the horrendous stock gearing on '07 newer bikes. That combined with a stock motor is just terrible. My '06 was better off with the 70t rear sprocket and I added the 30t front for a little more.
