What would it take for a fatboy? Have a friend with an 08 train that said he did one on accident when he pulled out in front of a car that was closer than he first thought. I've tried a few times and nothing. If I'm going too slow and try it spins the tire. If I try a little faster, it just doesn't seem to have the power.

about 10 to 15 mph,bring it to 3500 dump the clutch,hang on. you revin to high if you spinning the tire,hit it at peak trq,about 3500,keep the rear brake covered in case it gos to high for ya.

If I tried this on my 04 RK w/ the stock 88... I'd either A> wreck or B> damage something. Don't think a stock 88 with a 250lb rider will do that... though part of me wants to find out...

I wonder who works on their bikes. Do they do themselves.
A 07 above has a narrow drive belt. Can be broke.
Regardless suggest you be close to home. Less pushing.

most people who are out stunting on there bikes have gone to a chain -- belt will not hold up to constant stress and strain like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cEwU...eature=related

Lyn,
Yeah lucky on the west coast we see that stuff all the time. Im sure Rare Breed Atl gets down like the LA chapter too. Alot of that H D Tv stuff is filmed at the Fresno runs and it nice to see that stuff live. Yeah some of the bikes take a betting but its amazing to see how long some of those guys can hold there wheelies. Im still working on my burnout and sideways but hopefully by next yrs Fresno run I can hit the strip with a nice wheelie.
