I’m at Juan’s stage. A brilliant video! When he says much more power that’s when your life flashes before your eyes! I’ll work on my wheelies! Thanks boys!
Juan and anyone stuck on this needs to get at it more frequently. You cannot do 5 attempts then nothing for a week or two. You have to spend more time with proper full gear on. Good, safe riders will instinctively position themselves on the bike upon the first sign the bike is doing a wheelie to kill it, to regain the normal position of the bike. Getting comfortably with the uneasy body position of a wheelie is not that easy. Letting your arms loose and stretch out, feels very unnatural in a wheelie position. Relaxing your mind and your tense body is the first step.
One thing that helps me is pressing the rear break right before releasing my clutch. slows you down and preloads the suspension. may or may not help Juan but worth trying.
It's seriously crazy how different it is. I thought cause I'm pretty good at wheelies on a dirt bike I'd get them down on the Harley pretty easy but it took a lot of practice and I'm still not that good haha
@@drewjackson4056 Man agreed but that’s such a huge part of it. In fairness I don’t count on wheelie world since run the FXDWG and lengthen them even sometimes haha
Not sure if Juan has made any progress yet or not but definitely would recommend learning on a Grom - helps out a lot with technique since you cant rely on power. Would make a cool little shop bike too.
Now that Juan has set his goal of learning to wheelie by december, I cant wait to see it!! suggestion: watch your head placement when you're coming up on the wheelie, at the 7:01 mark you can see him leaning forward into the bars when he is trying to bring it up. try and get your core above the rear axle and it will come up much easier. once you get that habit of leaning a little back instead of all forward, you can wheelie anything. trust the wheelie and COVER THE REAR BRAKE! Good Luck Juan!!
I live down the street from your shop, I see you guys rippin through every now and then, love your merch, love the vlogs, Hoping to get my bike soon so I can add some rad Thrashin gear. You could do it Juan!!!
I was just where Juan was at, what really helped me since I’m a smaller guy (145 lbs) is pressing down on the front forks & compressing that front suspension just before the seat bounce & clutch dump! I hope this helps
I used to wheelie them right out of the box after a PDI at the dealership. Stock baggers id always have to preload the front to get them up, but im no pro...
took me quite a while to perfect a wheelie on my road king I think for me it was fear of giving too much throttle and flipping over backwards but once I built up the courage and eventually found that sweet spot I was golden...great video😉
The timing on Juan’s seat bounce is a tiny bit out of sync. Creep it,, little bit of front brake compressed the fork- “ seat bounce” rock the body back in one fluid motion, TIME the clutch hit with the seat bounce Juan🤙 From what I’ve seen his bike prefers slinging the clutch right out quick. I don’t think he’ll break it loose at 20mph with that motor/gearing combo. Awesome video tho! Everything you’re saying Lance is perfect! Juan,, practice practice! I know it’s super frustrating right now,, but hang in there-don’t give up! 100% you will be caring that front wheel! And a whole lot of props for doing this with the whole world watching! You have our respect! Braaap
I have a older 95 , 80 inch stage 3. After learning how to get the front end to come up I stopped myself. Now I have a Grom clone for working on my break control. All the skills that I am learning from the little beater translate right to the Harley.
That's a very smart move brother. When I was younger I used to wheelie a Honda VTR 1K I had and I miss messin around but i'm so out of practice I won't even risk trying it on my heavy ass street beast😂 I need to get a cheaper bike to practice on for sure
Im still learning but here are some things that helped me so far first off my bike is a Stock 96cu motor 2007 lowrider. i get the front end up no problem after I did the Barnett carbon clutch instal with heavy duty spring, taller rear suspension 13-14” tall. easy pull levers, case saver, or chopper hauss front mount to save your engine if u come down hard which will happen when learning, good front suspension too. i run dunlop 401 in the back regular tire pressure im also 230lbs 6’5 so that helps with popping em up if youre a bigger dude only thing I have problems with now its getting scared to hit balance point im still chasing them out but too anyone learning at the end of the day its just gonna be seat time ive seen dudes wheelie completely stock dynas mind you they are experienced but it goes to show that you can do everything to your bike and still not wheelie it just comes down to skill
Definitely worth the commute to travel out of the city to a spot where you wont get pressed to leave and there's literally zero through traffic. Its a whole different vibe when your in an environment that enables you to focus rather than always being on alert.
This is the 1st video I've ever heard about longevity of a tire. That sounds like some lefty logic. This is a wheelie video right. SHINKO 777 best price best stick. Awesome video 👍👍👍
No. The point is when our friends are learning the technique, we put them in the stickier compound. Once they got the technique down, that sticky of a tire is not needed and you can go with something they is also better for burning out. No need to name call brother. Just sharing how we teach our friends.
What kind of motor mount & Stabilizer does Lance use on his dyna,I have a 2008 fxdse2, I don't do a lot of wheelies.I do get into it on the corners & burner outs,forgot to mention, I do run Legends front & rear ,any suggestion's on what I should run for motor mounts?Thanks you guys & your product's are Second To none.Peace,Keep up the good Work, THANKS
No he doesn’t. Like Lance said there are guys on bone stock 88” motor dynas pulling up the front end up until the cows come home. Plus it’s better to develop the skill to get the front end up rather than rely on just the power to get it up
I think I'm going to buy a used 883L this summer. Probably ad some stunt crash bars, better suspension and rental bars. Then in the winter upgrade to a hooligan engine kit. Can't wait to practice stunting on a harley!
Thanks for the video lance, I have a question perhaps you can answer. Why does the performance Harley crowd have such a affinity for mag wheels? Is it just a flex as there more expensive?
It really helps if you go slower and focus on technic. Good seat bounce down to the rear not so much straight back. Focus on slowing down and technic and you won’t be speeding up so much getting it up.
Rake won’t matter about a wheelie… but will matter how the bike handles overall. If it’s an old Softail will need a lot of power…. Cause of the way the shock extends
On a sport bike you don’t have to rev the shit out of it to wheelie. You can just power it up and it’s very controlled and smooth. On a Harley you gotta rev that shit out and yank it up. It’s more of an aggressive/explosive thing.
@@DeadRoman i used to run 30mph 3rd gear, stand up and wacked the throttle and dump the clutch. The difference in the power curve is killing me. And i finally got a 2 into 1 on the bike instead of bigshots. So far its making the power in a better way.
Wheel base of your low rider is actually a tad bit shorter than most dynas. 63.6” for your low rider, 64.2” for a dyna street bob. Drop your rear tire air pressure, get a longer or after market shock that you can slow the rebound on.
It’s the mono shock set up it sucks for Wheelies the balance point is really sharp. But it can be done. Our swingarm conversion makes it easier but it can be done that way too. 🦅🔥
I learned mine by coming to a complete stop. Bike in second, then I put my ass all the way back on the passenger seat, roll on the throttle until it just about hits the rev limiter and let that FUCKIN clutch out nice and quick...comes up every time...good luck.
@@sammyrodriguez5154 I get it brother. I currently have my Dyna and my Road Glide ST. I don’t have the heart to throw either in the air. Love ‘em too much. I desperately need a beater bike to learn wheelies 🤘🏽
Maybe try keeping your head up also not to keep looking at the tire as it comes up I learned it was easier for me to get it all the way up by keeping my head looking forward because it brings your shoulders forward to look down
Juan is an example of how cool humbleness is. Massively cool.
ohh - and love the sound of the FXR

i do it like that too
I’ve done a quick throttle chop to preload it, and then rip it up. Not popping my clutch. Just power wheelieing it. I’ll try the brake!
@@chevyon37s You can get it up without the clutch?
@@Levixwelch yup, in 1st gear. I have a cammed 103ci.
Man... i gotta admit. ive been wheelieing dirtbikes since 1987 but im amazed at what you guys do on the big ones.
It's seriously crazy how different it is. I thought cause I'm pretty good at wheelies on a dirt bike I'd get them down on the Harley pretty easy but it took a lot of practice and I'm still not that good haha
Haha yea, they are almost easier on a Harley once you figure out how to get the front end up. That’s the hard part.
Thanks dude!!
Keeping them up and balanced on a harley seems easier. But getting them up is definitely more of a learning curve

Love these videos. I am practicing the rolling burn out right now.
This makes me want to go out and hit some wheelies right now

Sick video. I personally learned the most out of Krusei’s how to video if anyone needs help.
Yea those lads are rad as fuck they sure know how to stunt a harley
Appreciate the pointers trying to lift my Vulcan, I’ll keep practicing this summer
took me quite a while to perfect a wheelie on my road king I think for me it was fear of giving too much throttle and flipping over backwards but once I built up the courage and eventually found that sweet spot I was golden...great video😉
Go Juan!!!! You can do it!
Support from Sweden 🇸🇪🤘🏼
I love watching the other guys in contrast because that’s how hard it is to do this when you haven’t really done it before. It’s scary as hell.

I know a guy doing it on a stock 88” super glide! lol but I think the biggest help is the taller shocks with more travel and a slower rebound
@@chevyon37s 5speed 88s are the best for stunts apparently
That’s sick man

Great video ⚡️⚡️ @juan ‘practice make perfect’ … so keep on practicing and you’ll get there 🙌🙌 @Lance is perfect teacher! 🙌⚡️⚡️🙌
This was actually helpful
From braking straight into wheelies… sheeeeeeeeeesh

Lance makes it look easy.. i juan to do a wheelie!!
Awesome video guys!
Your fxr is so sick 🔥 have you done a walk around on it ? On any other vids.
Like your content cool skills.
I have! Check out our bike check videos, I did one on the red FXR 🤘🏻
Great video....dude needs some torque cams in that 96....both of u are excellent riders and make awesome products...really dig the channel man
No he doesn’t. Like Lance said there are guys on bone stock 88” motor dynas pulling up the front end up until the cows come home. Plus it’s better to develop the skill to get the front end up rather than rely on just the power to get it up
@@chevyon37s I guess tatro machine is wrong then....u gonna question his advice too?
How does wheeling the FXR compare to the Dyna? Great video!!
FXR is much easier to get the front end up then the Dyna. Especially the 49mm front end Dyna.
I think I'm going to buy a used 883L this summer. Probably ad some stunt crash bars, better suspension and rental bars. Then in the winter upgrade to a hooligan engine kit. Can't wait to practice stunting on a harley!
Love the tutorial video
That fxr looks nice
You didn’t mention this but what if your bike is belt driven instead of chain? Is it harder to wheelie on a belt driven bike?
Not noticeable
What are the specs on Juan’s bike ? What year / model? Looks sick💪
I noticed he's also leaning forward. The clutch up ive got, the rolling burnouts snd shit are what has Me fear locked lol
Do you ever wheelie your Road glide? Just noticed the red x on the thumb nail. Lol
That's what I'm saying, anybody on a bagger 💪🏼🇺🇲
ua-cam.com/video/z0cvw7r7ScU/v-deo.html
Got a 05 superglide with S&S 106 stroker, chain drive SHES PERFECT WHEELIE BIKE JUST SNAPPING THROTLE. AT 62 STILL CRANKING HER UP!..😮😂😂
When is part 2 of this coming?
Would it be easier to learn on a sporty?
Thanks for the video lance, I have a question perhaps you can answer. Why does the performance Harley crowd have such a affinity for mag wheels? Is it just a flex as there more expensive?
They take more of a beating when coming down from a wheelie. Spoke wheels can warp
Whats best sprocket set up for dyna wheeling
Can you wheelie softails?
I’ve seen videos of some of those unknown dudes wheelie the new softails.
It really helps if you go slower and focus on technic. Good seat bounce down to the rear not so much straight back. Focus on slowing down and technic and you won’t be speeding up so much getting it up.
For real my goal was just to get it to 10 o'clock..and ride it..
What about 2003 1200 sportser any tips ?
What fairing is on Juan’s bike
Can you wheelie a stock 883 with a stage 1?
Do one on second gear rollers plzz
If I try that on my vstar... definitely going down.... can't wheelie a bike yet...
What model are these
Not starving the engine of oil is pretty necessary for Harley wheelies. No mention of that. 👍
My 01 Electra Glide with the 88c.i. doesn't like picking the front end up, I did it accidentally
Lol getting better bro!
Haha, one day!!
What gear is best for that lift?
What keeps ya from going over?
888s are the best tires out there.... hands down
How do you keep from flipping the bike out from under you ?
Rear brake and throttle control.
Does rake matter? I feel like I can't get my softail up
Rake won’t matter about a wheelie… but will matter how the bike handles overall.
If it’s an old Softail will need a lot of power…. Cause of the way the shock extends
Legends, risers with full 2” pull black and a Dunlop your on your way
I know juans pain. I used to be able to wheelie a sportbike. For some reason my harley makes me nervous maybe ive just gotten a sense of fear
I can wheelie my Ducati 848 SF easily. The Dyna is just soooo different

Swore I watched this like 3 years ago
How to wheelie the Harley Davidson road glide？
I have a 21 Low Rider S. Many tell me its tough to wheelie on a softail (maybe longer wheel base??). Have you found that to be the case?
Krusi originals have an entire series dedicated to stunting on softails defiantly worth a look
Wheel base of your low rider is actually a tad bit shorter than most dynas. 63.6” for your low rider, 64.2” for a dyna street bob.
Drop your rear tire air pressure, get a longer or after market shock that you can slow the rebound on.

Juan is leaning forward once the wheel starts to come up off the ground too
Haha yea we started to notice that after reviewing this photo. He has a lot to learn lol
All good..c'mon Juan..
Where's the vlog?
You need to pratice for 2 hours every day for 2 months to get this. Thats what I did. 2 hours after work every day.
Can he wheelie on a dirt bike or any other bike?
I can wheelie my Ducati Street fighter. The Dyna is just sooo different
I say your seat is the key to the balance of YOU.. WHAT DO I KNOW ..LOL NEVER DONE ONE.
Ok you said it not slide out of it ..😅😅😅
you guys talking about how scared u are to wheelie ur new bikes, but there’s a thing called crash bars guys 😂
I'm worried about once I'm up how to get it back down without crashing or fucking my shit up
Cool 😎
How fast should I go on a 117 low rider s trying learn wheelies on it

So dangerous how it's only stable almost completely upright
Wow what a minute, 5000miles on your tires? Is that normal?
Yea between burnouts and riding aggressive. Sometimes less just depends how many burn outs happen lol
That is all I get on my Harley branded Dunlops. It has always aggravated me but "it is what it is."
No pedestrians. . Pedestrians in the background 🤣
Can Juan wheelie smaller bikes? Dude needs to be practicing on a grom or a 110.
Good question. I’m sure he can pop it up, but balance it I’m not sure
OMG, that looks so ridiculous, I doubt I could do this on my old stock sporster though X-D
my left leg is prosthetic. No wheelies for me LOL.
I don’t need to wreck my bike just to show off.
You don't need to comment either but you have
My bar raises 10 inches
Hold my beer
Juan.. He's trying to
🤕 you. Lol

Omg! I just said that!! 11:06

You gotta learn on a dirt bike imo.
Just means you need nitrous, Juan!
100 shot should get the job done 🤓
not 17 year olds in the uk ripping wheelies on engines with less than 8 cubic inches XD
I think Juan needs a lot more seat time…and a cage for his bike…
