Harley Davidson Forward Controls Rolling Burnouts (Tips and Tricks)!!

[@davidroth4898]

I have a 05 FXSTB With all 4 stages of screaming eagle upgrades and she likes to get loose and lay some wicked whole shots and rolling burnouts.

[@softailspeedz4314]

This 02’ just a straight 88B twin cam… just a fun snappy motor to beat on…. Just gotta utilize the clutch a lot and open that throttle up lol!!

[@j.acencc6273]

2015 softail slim. cant find any vids on it doing rolling burnouts... im gonna have to make some this spring.

[@softailspeedz4314]

Most definitely!!🤙

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

I have a soft tail 2015 Please make more videos!!!! Love this I already have rolling clutch dump burn outs easily

[@austinpepin6099]

Straight from the beginning when I saw the beard I knew you knew what the fuck you were talking about

[@darren6951]

The 96 is one of the best engines Harley ever built.

[@dancullihall6834]

Mines an 04 Superglide with forward controls and I miss mids when giving it full throttle 0-60 hard to keep your legs ahead, was wondering about midway floor boards maybe..

[@softailspeedz4314]

You know in all honesty I tend to take my steering setup seriously due to being able to pull my body weight up to basically sitting on the gauge cluster on the tank lol. Also with a single rotor brake setup you need to set yourself up for the bike to pull you in a certain direction!! I kind of rely on bars as my control utilizing fwd junk controls lol! Thanks for watching!!

[@Whitejesselink]

I also have forward controls for the first time in my life. Holy crap it was hard to get use to it! 3,000 miles later I'm use to it I think.

[@stephend.4748]

What's your handle bar set up? Nice bike bro. I may buy my uncles 03 softtail standard.

[@softailspeedz4314]

The bar setup is 8” pull back risers by Biltwell along with the mx high bars by Biltwell. 1” setup. The levers are Elite Mototech.

[@stephend.4748]

You should do a video just showing that bike off and the setup.

[@softailspeedz4314]

I would for sure but traded that bad boy in for a 2020 Low Rider. Liked the new mono shock suspension and mids for a more aggressive stance riding.

[@OkWakesurfing]

What taillight are you running? Looks bad ass blacked out. Wanting to get something like that for my 03 FXSTI

[@owenjones9476]

Can I use this same concept on a M8 bagger?

[@softailspeedz4314]

Yea bro… just may want to shift your body weight closer to the tank to get off the rear tire so the suspension doesn’t have any strain when trying to unload that rear tire!!

[@owenjones9476]

Just found your channel. I ride an '03 Standard. Used to ride a lot of small enduros. This is my first bigger bike. Thanks for the tips.

[@gahlyogu4570]

do you just keep the handlebars straight, im always sketched out about sliding onto its side or fucking popping a wheelie

[@softailspeedz4314]

If I’m coming around a corner that’s not too deep I have the bike leaned a little with a little bit of handlebar action. I did do this vid to show without using brakes so keep that in mind. It’s much easier if your grabbing some brake to really cock the handlebars over due to the speed being a little more controlled.

[@gahlyogu4570]

@@softailspeedz4314 yeah I mean dropping the clutching while the bike is straight ... no brakes. Rev , drop the clutch , bike loses traction , keep throttle , tire is spinning / smoking with barley any traction ... this is when I feel like its going to just fall over and wondering if keeping the handle bars straight helps.

[@softailspeedz4314]

@@gahlyogu4570 keeping the bars straight is best for control until you get more used to it more and more.

[@davidroth4898]

Yes handle bars straight usually the bike will kick out to the right a bit when you hit it hard and break em loose then I throw my hip to shift the weight to the left . I have never gotten the front tire off the ground while doing this not likely with forward controls and a raked out front end .

[@mrcountit]

Does carburetors make it harder?

[@softailspeedz4314]

No… I only made the vid cuz I never really rode a bike with forward controls and was just fuckin around with the awkwardness and rolling burnouts. I set the bike up a little but it ended up not being worth investing in a mid setup. However that 88b engine is an awesome motor!!

[@adenstegall4577]

Sweet video, I’ve got the exact same bike and I was planning on putting T bars on it but nobody really does that at least to my knowledge so I went with apes instead. Your the first person I’ve seen do it on a standard and I’m kinda wishing I would have

[@softailspeedz4314]

Aden Stegall thanks I appreciate you checking out the page. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Gonna be doing more on some cool rides and some fun riding with forward control bikes!! It is a great bike and good for aggressive riding for sure!! If you decide to switch you’re setup and I can be of help let me know. My insta is e_dingo38. Cheers!!

why doesn't it pop a wheelie?

[@softailspeedz4314]

It’s a softail and that suspension setup is a bit rough to clutch up with the weight of this bike. The front will come up but it takes some doing lol.

[@618stunts]

What bars are those

[@softailspeedz4314]

Biltwell high mx with 10” pullbacks

[@618stunts]

Thanks man

[@JP15117]

What kinda bars and risers are on your bike?

[@softailspeedz4314]

The risers are biltwell pullbacks and the bars are biltwell high mx bars.

[@fireball1322]

so how's that rear belt drive holding out?

[@softailspeedz4314]

It’s holding out after I blew the first one apart at a DOT stop I was having a little fun at!! Took about a month of abuse for it to pop on a 2nd gear dumper lol

[@bigf.4470]

Great video man thanks

[@lukealcon6203]

Yea please let me know a good mid set.

[@softailspeedz4314]

Mids for this bike is like zero options unfortunately unless you wanna run an open primary and that set is like 1500.00 through exile I believe. You can probably piece a set together though using other bikes parts. This is a deal breaker for me with this bike not having mid options for the fun having style of riding!! Such a bummer on this cool bike.... I should have researched instead of being a know it all lol

[@rubin_k4234]

$2,000 for mid controls?? Am I trippin or is that high? Doing mids swap on my 02 wide glide and isn’t looking to be more than a $500 job….

[@softailspeedz4314]

There’s no options for this model…. Why I did this vid for fun just messing with the awkward riding of forward controls lol. Still a good bike just not many mid options for it.

Dynaordie that was the idea....

Not seated on softails….. with mid controls yes but seated and fwd controls it makes a little difference but not that much.
