Bagger doing a wheely

01 Ultra, 124" Zipper built in stock cases (EASY paperwork) Baker 6 spd.
YES, you can wheelie a bagger. It's TOUGH on the belt, so rolling hammer drops are WAY better, and make it much easier to catch and pass that snotty nosed kid on the 'rocket'. By the time he 'fingers' out what that RUMBLE is in his ear, he is in too high of a gear, and usually cannot recover fast enough to prevent that 16" wheel from getting in front of him.
It's FUN until Momma starts hitting you in the back of the head, "SLOW DOWN!!!" Psst, I THINK she doesn't like gettin' her hair 'fussed'.

The key is to not freak out once you get it up there. The fairing will be in the way, so it's hard to see where you're going. But you can feel it going straight, so you just have to hold it until it glides back down on it's own. Then it won't blow the seals out of the front forks. It is really hard on the belt though.
I was going through a series of stoplights once with crotch rockets in the next lane. They kept hammering every green light, just to get caught at the next red. At one of the last ones, I waited until the last split second, and launched my bagger. They probably could have blown me away, but their jaws were still dropped open. They came up behind, saying "Man, that was so f@&ing cool!"
About a week later, I snapped the belt.

The burnouts where he fishtails the bike back and forth is where it looks like he could really get hurt (in the you tube video). It looks like hes moving fast enough that he could high side the bike pretty easily and launch him up into the air.
