     Just been reading on hd fourms about riders being able to losing traction or drifting around corners on there hogs 
    On my 2016 breakout stage 1 Bassani pro street pipes I could do this on a dirt road, mates gravel drive way or unsealed carpark but never the tar 
    When you lads say your drifting out of corners, you are droping the clutch under revs aren't yu 
    Or is the stage iv kit that good

    i can lose traction easy as on the stage 4 with a fan of the clutch, usually do it changing into 2nd.

    As for drifting out of corners,,, well im not a good enough rider for that and wouldnt attempt it, not on a hog anyhow.
    Have done it accidentally couple times when had original shit dunlops on but fucken shit meself i tells ya!!!

    Easy to do. Keep accelerating hard when leaning over doing a low speed corner around town.
    Great way to put shit in pants if not expecting it.
    On wet roads, well the obvious is going to happen.
    My worked up Bob is a prick to ride in the wet.

    When the roads a wet after it's rained enough to get the slim off, that a great time to learn at a slower speed. On a road you know just come up to a corner in first or second, shift your weight off the bike and hold it up so there's more tyre surface on the road, after you get the line of exit, just before the corner ends or the line of exit just accelerate a bit harder, don't pin it, fan it, your softtail is better in the wet than a dyna, longer wheel base is nice and slow and comes back real nice. Some earlier video's of Fatboy in the wet on this site. In the dry come up to the same corner faster, drop down a gear to get into the rev range drop off the bike again holding it up and pin it, I don't use the clutch much, can be unpredictable if your learning. The leaning off the bike is the key to more control, that leads to more confidence and then PIN IT, sorry, got a bit carried away, PIN IT and fan it.
