Load the fork meaning ride off at an idle and let all the weight transfer to the front end compressing the fork into its stroke using a touch of front brake and your body weight, Now in one fluid motion grab a big greedy handfull of throttle and dump the clutch as you lean back hard in a smooth motion whilst pulling up on the bars...Pull the clutch back in if you feel you are going to loop the bike or tap the rear brake to bring it back down. Imagine you are on a rocking chair...Flow with the bike.

So imagine you are in that rocking chair and you are gonna use the driving power of the rear wheel in conjunction with your weight swinging back and the fork pogoing itself out of the down stroked position. Practice in a big empty parking lot. If you have 3" extended controls its harder to get it up. If you try it on a dyna or sporty with mid controls its easier yet.

Our softail design dosent lend itself well to wheelies though. Plus if you get it up and let off the gas abruptly, clutch or tap the brake the resulting front end impact can be ugly with the rake we have on a Night train.

Its not as hard as you think. I ride dirtbikes so I'm wheeling over obstacles in the trail, whoops across streams, patches of snow and sometimes my Brother in law if crashes in front of me, and wheelies are a must to navigate off road at higher speeds. So the whole load the front lean back and pull thing is almost second nature to me after 25 years of offroading. I used my Moto-X guy technique and pulled a wheelie on my Train the second or third try. I didnt like how it felt when it came back down and my 3" foward controls make it hard to load the front end without using the front brake.......I have a stage 3 build pushing 110 Lbs of TQ so it wasnt so hard. Its not much fun on a Night Train though!!

A stocker will wheelie as well. I'm certain of it.
