great take on the Harley wheelie game. I been working on my 18 fat bob and man it is a beast and does NOT like to come up... sort of beating the bike up because of my level... just really hard to get consistent pull and lift. love the ride of it though. I like the 1200 platform for a wheelie bike though... tks
I got a 2016 roadster and a 2010 dyna wide. I was going to sell me roadster, but I want to learn how to do wheelies. I think I am going to keep them both now. Thanks for the advice.
What bars are installed on the bike (brand, height) and which aftermarket housing for the speedo gauge is installed on them? I’m trying to get this setup for my girl and any help would be appreciated with any details you would share.
Came two years too late.. That´s a great style of informative wheeleria. 👌 Did ever heard of somebody wheeling an old ´92Virago 535? No that´s not a joke. It´s my first and currently only bike. Over here in europe harleys seem to me way to expensiv 😅 but I´m super curious about this Chopper/cruiser stunting you guys in the US do!🙏 Ride on!
awesome that advise helped alot as my sportster is pretty much the same as i ve been weighing it up fxr or fxdx or continuing to do up my sportster to a s&s
I have a fxdx with defender style bags and tsport faring and a set up sporty. As well as a mini z125. And the sporty is def closer to the mini. And I've always said the sporty for wheelies and shjt but now I'm starting to feel like the dyna is better. The bigger bikes def do burnouts easier.
Shorter, lighter, fork parts readily available. No sump mods needed! Far less expensive to buy and build. 883 can be a better option over 1200, lower geared and often found with super low miles cheap! The 1200 costs more and does not have much more power. 883 with a performance big bore kit is the way to go.
@@JIMBOBALOU I believe he’s suggesting taking an 883 and putting a 1200 or 1250 top end on it… 883 with 1200 jugs will be faster than a 1200 bc of the 883s lower tranny ratio
@@brockclouser1500 I figured that his last sentence. But to say the 1200 "does not have much more power" is not true. 20+ HP is a lot. And would be very noticeable to a ride upgrading from an 883.
@@JIMBOBALOU as someone who has both an 883 and a 1200… the power difference is night and day! Can’t bring myself to swap jugs on my 883 wheelie bike tho only have 8k miles on it… tons of wheelies and burnouts left before it pops
@@brockclouser1500 Sweet man, I'm saving up for a sportster. Would like to get in the wheelie game too. But I couldn't afford more than one, so I'm shopping for a 1200.
Hey I have a 96 FXDS Convertible. I can't get a danmoto exhaust for it. Any other affordable 2-1 out there?. Been looking at the Greg Lutzka pipe but it and other are up there in price
13/14 inch rears, stiffer springs up front and the sporty comes up, also gotta do a carb mod so your gas doesnt overflow and oil expansion tank bung reroute so it doesn't oil starve
S&S makes 2 Hooligan kits Jon. They make a 883cc to 1200cc with 9.6:1 and a 1200cc to 1250 (a 10.5:1 with forged flat top pistons and a 11.2:1 with 5.5cc pop up dome pistons) but unfortunately they don't make a 1250 for the 883 because the 1250 requires 1200 heads for the S&S kit. I have the 1250 Hooligan on my 2018 Forty Eight with Feuling Reaper 505/515 cams, Feuling HP+ lifters, Feuling Endurance valve springs, Hammer Performance solid pushrods, Buell bronze oil pump gear, TBR gen 2 stainless 2-1, S&S teardrop air cleaner, Vance and Hines FP3 tuner, Screamin Eagle plugs and plug wires and a Dynatek EFI ignition coil, along with many suspension (13 inch progressive 490 shocks and adjustable monotube cartridge forks kit with a Daytona steeringdamper, brakes (xr1200 master cylinder, braided lines, radial 4 piston Tokico caliper, Brembo pads, Brembo floating rotors front and rear (waiting on an aluminum swing arm with a 4 piston Brembo caliper and a matching caliper to replace the Tokico in front) and body/aesthetic upgrades. I did carbon fiber side panels and front fender (waiting on a rear fender but I think I got ripped on that) TMF chain conversion, seat, bars, gauges (fuel gauge, tach, oil temp and level lcd dipstick) added gloss black HD chopped cam cover, primary cover, derby cover, lower rocker boxes and flat black HD upper rockers with a Feuling points cover, LED lights and entirely too much money but it has been an absolute blast transforming this bike. The bike is very similar to this bike. I have a video of it recently that is relatively close to how it looks now. I have added a few small things like a sprocket cover, chain slider and some other do dads since then haha. That being said, it is an incredibly fun bike to ride!
Uh... stock harley brakes are brembos just debadged and re-harley-badged... so did you pay for brakes that say brembo on them or did you get significantly larger brakes?
@@RandyNachoManSandwich the only Harleys that have stock Brembos are the Touring models and they are axial, not radial, made for Harley, and they aren't that great. The only Harleys with radial Brembo calipers are the sportster S, the Pan Am, Livewire. Axial brakes auck compared to radial brakes and the Harley Touring Brembos, are again, axial. I did go with significantly larger rotors, from 11.5 to 13 inch. The stock calipers on my bike were not Brembos and not all Brembo calipers are created equally.
Long time no see bro. Funny I was thinking of grabbing a cheap sportster to beat on and practice those Harvey willies. I was out in Arizona said what's up to kruise's. Haven't really been making any videos for my channel just been preparing for the collapse.
Anyone have experience with wheelies on a forty-eight? Haven't seen too many videos on them so I don't wanna get out there and try and mess myself or my bike up
Shouldn't be much different aside from the ergos. But with mids and a different bar set up, I imagine you wouldn't have an issue. Pretty sure I've seen it done. But be warned tlearnint wheelies will more than likely cause some damage to the bike. 💯
@@JonsMotoGarage for sure, i figured that big front tire would affect the center of balance a lot, guess I'll just have to give it a few tries, thanks for the info!
Dudes throwing a lot around. You can quit calling it an 883 since it isn’t. Iron is irrelevant fxdx, lows street bobs super glides all that stuff is irrelevant the minute you change the shocks and controls they’re all the same. Just say sporty or dyna.
I would think a Sporty would be easier to wheelie than a Dyna because of the shorter wheel base and a lighter bike overall.

Get rid of the FatBob front end and go with a super glide front end. It'll make all the difference in the world.
I got a 2016 roadster and a 2010 dyna wide. I was going to sell me roadster, but I want to learn how to do wheelies. I think I am going to keep them both now. Thanks for the advice.
My 05 XL883L surprised me with a power wheelie from 2nd to 3rd. They definitely have enough power to get the front end up!
You make this look so easy 🙌
When you compared it to a grom, that explains why i want a 1275 883 now, lol
Been stunt riding for sometime..wanna test the waters with the Harleys…super helpful vid!
The sportster is definitely easier to get up then a Dyna… and I’m on an 883…. LOL
My 883 is easier to get it up, my 1200 is easier for the burn outs
jon have you thought of getting a 360 camera to get a whole view of your amazing wheelies?!?!
Glad to see you're back to doing wheelie videos!
We gotta get a bagger in the line up, what do you think?
Hell yeah! I wanna see some road king wheelies
Yes the sporster is about 90 pounds lighter than the dyna so easier to handle.
Whoa, dude. Did I give you permission to wheelie my Sportster?!?!?!?
What bars are installed on the bike (brand, height) and which aftermarket housing for the speedo gauge is installed on them? I’m trying to get this setup for my girl and any help would be appreciated with any details you would share.
no memo? better have a chat. lol
Lol
Haha 😂
What bars are those btw

Oooooooo thanks for the ride. Those wheelies were fun🤣🤣
I watched the original video when you got this bike , do you know how tall the handlebars are ?
awesome that advise helped alot as my sportster is pretty much the same as i ve been weighing it up fxr or fxdx or continuing to do up my sportster to a s&s
Hey bro can i ask what's the handlebars on the sportster please?
For the red 883 in one of the pictures, where can I find a solo seat like that?????
I have a fxdx with defender style bags and tsport faring and a set up sporty. As well as a mini z125. And the sporty is def closer to the mini. And I've always said the sporty for wheelies and shjt but now I'm starting to feel like the dyna is better. The bigger bikes def do burnouts easier.
So my 1200 sportster is my first bike I want to try to learn but I’m worried about messing up my bike
john do a video on recommended parts for a sporty stunt build
Hey jon what seat are you rocking on that sportster buddy I love it 🤘🏻👌🏻🤘🏻
Would you do a carb 1200 sportster or FI modern sportster ??

Early model Dyna vs late model Dyna. Which is better.

Sprocket selection?
Nah a bagger is the easiest to wheelie
It actually is
@@Dom829 wait realy
No it’s not, you’re obviously a noob. Go learn how to peddle a bike before commenting on motorcycles. Ask your mom before watching videos also
what do size recommend for the raisers
I wish I could wheelie but the thought of crashing my Sportster is too much for me to learn.
Sporster 1200 good first bike?
can one do wheelie set to any year sportsters?
Is the 883 possible? With carburettor. Wanna start cheaper. Then work my way up to fxdx. My gf will also ride it I have RK to so.
883s come up easy, real easy
Waiting on Jackie to wheel it.
I know this is from sometime ago but did you do anything with the rear suspension or any other mods like that??

Is synthetic or mineral oil better for wheelies? Does it make a diff? Heard about slippage with full syn
Lucas oil 20w50 is 30x better than valvoline, handles heat better and doesn't gunk
why a sporster or dyna and not something like a softail?
What bars are those ? (Brand, height etc) and which aftermarket gauge housing are installed on them?
Look stock nightster / iron with risers
Great info.

Roadster
Pre 2000s but no older than 86
Killing the sporty wheelies! 💯🔥
Thank you sir 🎉
Kill'n it on the Sporty 👊
❤❤❤
V rod wheelie now surly
Yo, nice channel, im from prescott
5:18 good advice
I've got an 01 FXDX with S&S 510 cams, SE cam plate, S&S gear drive
I would love to see you keep stunting this bike
Shorter wheelbase and lighter weight. Sportster is way easier.
Need oil cooler for those 12 oclocks or you will starve the front piston of oil in just a few sessions 🤦♂️
Awesome
Nice harley sportster
That was cool to watch. PEACE
❤️🖤
I have a Harley xr1200x anyone can rip a wheelie on it. My dyna no one can rip one.
Don’t have to do anything to the motor…. 883 to 1250 lmao
You fucking goon! I like.
Dudes throwing a lot around. You can quit calling it an 883 since it isn’t. Iron is irrelevant fxdx, lows street bobs super glides all that stuff is irrelevant the minute you change the shocks and controls they’re all the same. Just say sporty or dyna.
The sportster is literally better at everything except costing to much money and being broken
The bike weighs 300 kg. If you want to wreck an expensive bike, go ahead.
Nothing is easier to wheelie than a sporty. Dynas and baggers are the same, to me (bags removed and short exhaust).
Impossible I got a 1200 couldn't get the wheel off the a mm
Practice, 883s come up like butter
are u in Az?
What bars are those?
