Yes, I used to do it all the time on a Gold Wing but have never done it on my H-D's. It's lots of fun!

I would be glad to do it on your bike! I will even throw in a burnout for ya so you can see how the heat effects your rubber! Not gonna happen on mine though.

Thought about it once but with bike out of warranty I really have no desire to tear up the belt, clutch or crankshaft.

I'm not going to argue how right or wrong it is, but I do them from time to time..

Yup...You wanna see it, send me $400 first. Busted two belts over the years, and changing them is a PITA.

after my third belt - I stopped - for the first 5k miles everything was cool - I think the torque from the belt to the pulley may have sharpened it and from then on I was breaking belts - changed the pulley - it is easier to do wheelies on 09 and up bikes however my 07 w/HQs 103 would easily do wheelies -- I cant get my 06 SG w/124 off the ground - just cant get it to hookup -

My old 79 Honda CBX was the wheelie king. It was hard to keep the front end
down in the first 3 gears! I almost had to sit up on the gas tank to keep the front end down if I grabbed too much throttle.
Put my old lady and a cooler on the luggage rack, and it would wheelie so easy it was crazy.
Not on my Harley though, I don't want to break it, plus I'm 34 yrs older now!
