FACTORY 47 VICLA PROJECT: Shotgun Shocks.

We do not know which step should be first in designing our vicla project but we thought it would be best to start with the funnest step, air bags. Plus with the air bags complete we can get a better idea on the rims we want to go with. In the year 2015 Factory 47 went to Sturgis Black Hills Rally in South Dakota for the 75th anniversary. Along the way we met a great company who showed us the ropes and helped us out there, Shotgun Shocks. We felt a strong bond with them because they believe in the same values as us, great products manufactured in house. After the rally we stood close friends with JD and the crew not to mention they are only down the street from us. So it was a no brainier on deciding which system to use. Shotgun Shocks is famous for there awesome two switch system and has mastered airbags for Harley Davidson Softails. Thanks again to everyone at Shotgun Shocks for the awesome system and great customer service. Project vicla is one step closer. For more details on Shotgun click the link below. We also supplied a video on how the system works.

Definition of a Vicla.

We do occasionally get a call asking us what is a Vicla? And to be honest it is kinda hard to describe but here is our definition of a Vicla. The term Vicla is a slang term for a style of motorcycle. Typically you see a lot of Softails with this style. It is like having a 1964  Chevy Impala and either making it a muscle car or lowrider, as to having a Road King and making it a bagger or Vicla. The traditional style Vicla will have a 21" spoke rim, white walls, long fishtails, chrome accessories, etching, stretched bags and fender, custom leather, high apes or low beach bars and a custom lowrider style paint job. The style originated in California but has now spread across the United States, we even see a large amount of them in other countries such as Japan. Each and every Vicla has its own unique style and flavor but one thing we can guarantee is its always easy to spot one from the crowd and its always a Harley Davidson. Our most popular Vicla handle bars are the Maddogger and Beach Bar. Plus most people who run the meat hook style will want the Shield engine guard and Anarchy bag guard to match. Here is a few links and some resources to help you learn more. If there is any more links you suggest please leave them in the comments below.
