Default A couple of Tri-Glide wheelie pics

I have read more than a few times that some folks think the Tri-Glide won't wheelie.

I have been meaning to ask Mary to take some pictures for a month or so now.

Today I got home from the shop on the TG before it was dark.

These pics are in our driveway.

First one is a roll on throttle while barely rolling. I have gotten it much higher than this with a roll on...but not a lot of room to work with in our driveway.



This one was with some clutch work while rolling. That's as high as it goes...mufflers stop it from going any further.



These are easy to do. TG is a solid Stage 1. (stock cams)

However, I do not recommend them...never know when a belt may snap, or other undesirable effects.

That said, I have done hundreds of wheelies on it, bike is close to 50K miles, original belt.

Further disclaimer....if you do a wheelie with yours and crash or break something...remember, I said I don't recommend it...don't send me the repair bill.

I bet that makes the mufflers look great.

I don't think I could do that. I know it does a mini wheelie when shifting from first to second most of the time. Those are some awesome pictures.
