Default All I want

Ok I will probably get bashed for this. I have an 07 sg. Stage 1 that is it. I really want to be able to pull wheelies with it. ( I know, why would you want that) Not sure why just would like to be able to do it. What build is recommended to accomplish that. Thanks to the legit responders..To the others. oh well.

Totally guessing here. I could be WAY off, but you would need a lot of low end torque (cut the heads .030, use a 251 cam and the -.030 ez fit pushrods). Lighten it up somehow. I would really be concerned with the drive belt.

There's a number of builds that will give you enough power. Almost for sure your 07 would benefit from lower gearing as well.

You want to adjust your gearing for low end torque, and you WILL pop wheelies all day long. Try a 24 tooth. I don't think messing with the heads or cams is really necessary. Be careful!

That makes more sense, I was just guessing. I did this head and cam combo on my Road King. It will throw you off the seat if you ain't careful!

Default I'm not exactly sure...

I don't know what all you need, but just guessing, I think the lower front pulley like mentioned above and a strong 103 will do the trick...heck, a buddy of mine from up North (Cali) said our 96 will pull wheelies...click the below link for Big Mannie's resume...

A stock setup will do wheelies.My 08 sg does them,it does take some effort.

What you need is practice or a fat chick.

I'd also recommend a bulk supply of fork seals, maybe some spare fairing brackets and some body filler and touch up paint for that dent in the top of your fender.
