Works better if you have huge apes. That way you can sit as far back as you can and pull back hard on the bars as you pop the clutch at 6k RPMs.

Wheelie has been done... how about a stoppie (Jason Britton style) on an Ultra Classic! Now that would be entertaining!

Insurance may not cover it and the warranty sure won't. My insurance won't cover anthing that is beyond the normal use of the bike and I could have to submit a lie detector test. It's your ***.
