Zipper's also sells one for around the same price.
Key is getting good quality sprockets and chain, then it won't be a maintenance nightmare. I know the DynamicDyna's come with PBI sprockets and EK O-ring chain.
BungKing makes custom size sporckets, up to 65 teeth for the rear. That was his in the picture I posted above.
My 2001 FXDX-T has some motor work but I can do sit down wheelies in first and stand-ups in second gear. I know guys out there that roll with Unknown Industries can do seat standups in third, but those guys have mad skills.
Just find a back road and start practicing... don't expect the motor to do all the work, if you just dump the clutch you'll smoke the back tire. It takes some weight transfer and pulling in the bars. Oh, and big ***** too. Haha
Here's a screen shot from a video clip of me pulling a few small wheelies...

Right on, Thanks for all your help guys.
I think I'm going to stick with a belt and go with a 30T front and 70T rear pulleys.
The bike came with these hideous 16" ape hangers. Which are hard to wheelie with.. haha.
My 14" Tbars should be here tomorrow.

Look at zippers.com I had a chain conversion shipped to my door for $420. Also had motor work done to my 88" and it comes up real easy. When it was stock it took some work but it has a lot to do with weight transfer and working rhe clutch. My 08 SB would wheelie with a pipe, air cleaner, and SERT. Just keep practicing man.

"Screaming Eagle Race Tuner" little black box with a red button. Plug it in press button and it flashes a new settings to manage the EFI and other stuff. I would reccomend a different tuner if your buying one outright. This one came with that bike.

If you're thinking about going to wide band O2 sensors, consider the ThunderMax tuner with auto tune. Not that cheap, probably under $700. The advantage is that any time you make modifications you just plug in a new map, ride it and the computer does the rest. The savings come in when you don't have to pay for dyno tuning every time you change something.

There's a good review in the August issue of American Iron magazine.

unfortunately that's a bit out of my price range. I don't plan on changing anything else after the air cleaner besides maybe the 02 sensor.
So I guess my question is, do i need to get a wide band 02 sensor, AND dyno it?
or just dyno it?

The only reason to change to wide band sensors is when you're using a tuner designed for them. On their own they won't do anything to help, might even hurt.
I guess you can dyno a bike without a tuner and the stock ECM but there's not a lot to be gained from that. If you want to dyno the bike, you will need a tuner to do that.
