After I posted those, I looked around YouTube videos and saw a few with guys on sport bikes do wheelies at 85 to over 100 mph. Saw a few guys that their riding ability blows my mind at what they can make that bike do; defies gravity and logic. I used to ride dirt bikes and could do wheelies, but nothing like this.

Just going by what a reputable builder told me for my 09 RKC. I'm not a wheelie guy, but the question came up for light to light racing, and he told me it would work for wheelies as well. I could be wrong on the tooth size, but doing some homework on the gearing for the OP would be the best bet and save a lot of money.

Big Mannie shifts while pulling the wheelies...there is another guy too, they call him Nasty and if I can find the videos, you'll know why...
