Default WTS or WTT Kidney for New Bike

Wow, i drove a wide glide and a fat boy today. not even like being on a motorcycle. more like a convertible with out doors! not sure how i feel about it, but it was fun. Really don't like that no matter how hard i tried i could not get the front wheel off the ground.....definitely not MY Sporty. LOL

If you can't get the front wheel of ANY Harley off the ground blame yourself, not the bike.

I've never been on any Harley (yes, even stock condition) that wouldn't lift the front wheel.

And that includes Street Glides, Baggers, and everything else...

Here is a little video of messing around with a Ultra-Classic and pulling a little 'wheelie'. As you probably know, the Ultra is probably the heaviest model out there.

I'm with OFG on this. My 88 cu in Deluxe will lift the front wheel if I gas it enough and pop the clutch just right. Lot's of torque on that thing.
