Default wheelies?
Has anyone seen or done with a stock 96" or would you have to bump it up to 103

Add a tourpack and/or slip the clutch and it can be done on any bike....Mine does it with a throttle snap in first like nothing...I ran a packed up tbag on my bike for a short road trip and it was like i shed 100 pounds off the front end..

With my tourpak moved back as it is, if I drop the clutch around 3500rpm.......the front tire comes up way too easy.

Looks like you engine is not stock and 117 is way bigger than 103. Plus without tour pak on could people do one with stock engine or light mods

you can do it on a stock bike--it helps to have a loaded tour pak. Get the revs up to 3500 - 4k rpm -- ease the clutch out just before it grabs lean to the back let the clutch go and give it gas -- this has to be syncronized (sp)

Much easier do it with a built motor -- my 107 has no problem getting up in the air--my former 103 could get up also but I had to manipulate the clutch--

one word of caution -- make sure you have enough room to come to a safe stop -- never try wheelies in a short parking lot -- don't ask me how I know

Most everyone that rides wheelies have either a bagger bike or a dyna.

put a passenger on there and you can ride them all day no matter what bike you have.
