Well, I pulled the front end up once - but I wasn't trying. On the ride home after having my 120R installed the front popped up shifting from 1st to 2nd near redline. Freaked me out. Only came up about 18" though and I didn't keep it up. I am sure it will pop in 3rd if I use the clutch, but I will never know. Not what I did this for...
Enjoy what you like, but its not for everyone...

Frankly, I've never understood riding a motorcycle that can't pull a wheelie. If it's too heavy, or underpowered, it's probably not going to be much fun for anything, let alone wheelies. Thats just my own ******* opinion 
I've been riding my whole life, but only owned a Harley for the last 4-5 yrs. And as soon as I can figure out how to get my '10 Wide Glide pull a nice graceful wheelstand, I'm forced to keep my CBR1000RR. That bike pulls wheelies like an excited dog on a leash. Also, I love my Harley and wouldn't want to hurt it with my poor Harley wheelie skills. My biggest worry is all that weight coming down hard on the front end when I mess up a shift or hit the right foot panic lever.
Also, Harleys have been doing wheelies for a looong time. Nobody's breaking any ground there. Anybody can wheelie a sportbike. But when you see a nice wheelie on a Hog, THATS badass!
Smooth up, Smooth down, and I can't imagine you'd hurt anything besides some clutch plates. Have fun and be safe!
