Body weight a major factor for holding wheelies?

Im 6'1" about 200-205, is this going to be a problem when holding wheelies and other stunts? I see alot of guys on here are like 160ish.

has nothing to do with body weight.. If you can't hold your own body weight that's a prob.. Just cause a guy is 160 doesn't mean he can hold his own weight

I just figured it would be harder for me to find a good balance point because I weight more.Im sure I can do it, was just curious.
