Sorry guys, even though I have a big inch engine, I have never intentionally wheelied or done a burn-out...but have had it up in the air by accident, hit second hard just right one time and it stood almost straight up, so it will do it easily.

I am into riding, not replacing belts, so I take it easy on the launches, but will do roll-ons all day long. 125hp/145 tq will easily lift the front end, I just dont need to prove it.

Back in the year of 19&71 I had my first harley a 19&70 XLCH and it would raise the tire in 1st or 2nd almost anytime...

See thumbnail

With Six Inch over Tubes and the little lady on the rear I could not get on it without the front end coming up....

Some crazy *** vids. A stock 88 on an ultra will bring the wheel up and i believe ride a wheelie out if done right. Only reason i say this i have seen a riding buddy bring his dresser up several times not real high but i bet he could get it there. Were talking about a buddy of my dads that has rode with him for 30yrs and when i was a kid this guy had an old XLCH and any time you got on the bike you better hold on he would put the front in the air and ride it all the way down the street even turn the corner he was nuts in those days.
