there is absolutely nothing wrong stunting on YOUR bike as long as you don't endanger anyone else -- don't be like this person --- always wear safety gear when out stunting

a really fat chick on the back would help, as the center of gravity would be radically better for getting the front end up. but i think a really attractive smaller chick would help to get it up in a much more pleasurable way, in my humble opinion.

you can do this on a stock bike but it is easier on built bike with lots of torque.
the easy part is getting the bike in the air, it is difficult to EASE it back onto the ground.
You will tear a lot of chit up if you let it bounce back to the pavement --
pick and choose your spots for wheelies -- at a minimum you will fcku up a belt pretty quickly (within 5k miles) and a whole host of other chit can go wrong--
the more torque you have the easier it is to get it in the air--if you look at the HDs doing wheelies on youtube most have gone to a chain (not yet available for 08 and later bikes)

Couldn't have said it better....
It's ALL about technique. As has been mentioned, setting it down "soft" will make (or BREAK) it a much better experience.
All that said.... what sorta clown would wanna wheelie their Bagger?
Now, if you can show me someone doing a stoppie on a Bagger... then I'll be impressed!
This is a fun thread.
