Default Can you wheelie a stock '07 Nightster?

I am getting ready to try it and have seen some guys on You Tube do it, but I wasn't sure if they had some mods done to their bikes. I mean mine seems like it's torquey enough to pull it off. Let me know your thoughts, thanks.

Just remember that back brake in case it gets a little to high. Let me know how it goes.

should be able to pull a second, maybe third gear wheelie too if you rev it and pull the clutch in and let it back out.

Make sure to video it, so you can star in one of the 1000s of You Tube videos that start with "Hey Y'all, watch this!" and end up with a shot of the bike and rider sliding on the deck.....

I did one by mistake on my 09 1200C. I was pulling out onto the freeway and
really needed to GO RIGHT NOW and I made a very fast, full-power shift up
into second and the front end came off the ground at least a foot or so.

Fortunately, I was pointed straight.

Surprised the s**t out me how easy it was...
