Particularly in USA to the motorcycle Touring or Bagger, it was referring to any touring

motorcycle. A touring motorcycle is a type of motorcycle designed for travel. Although

almost any motorcycle can be used for this purpose. Manufacturers have developed

specific models designed to meet the specific needs of these pilots. Touring

motorcycles generally have large windshields and windshields that offer a high degree

of wind protection, have large capacity fuel tank, powerful engines, more relaxed

riding position, have autopilot, rest pedals, and Of course, has large side and rear

upper luggage compartments, among many other typical features of the style.

Tourings are high performance bikes with a very vertical and comfortable driving

position.

Harley Davidson is the world champion motorcycle high peer for performances and has

benefited greatly from the Baggers boom. They had been making the Bagger for

decades, refining the reengineering of the machines for the best driving experience

and performance. Many of the Baggers riders were already accumulating miles and

adding dozens of enhancements and enhancements to their creations, always basing a

Harley on the customization choices. There were always builders, such as Arlen Ness,

Dave Perewitz, and Donnie Smith to name a few luminaries, who built a custom

Baggers model before it was popular, but it was a small portion of its portfolio.

Perhaps it was the reliability and power of the Twin Cam that opened the minds of

everyone else. So it was Harley and the creative and always inspired guru Willie G.

Davidson who probably launched the Begger style as we know it today.

This brilliant movement legitimizes Bagger and more specifically the personalized

variety. Lovers of this style can now get into any dealership and get a bike that would

cost many thousands of dollars more to recreate through personalization. The

immediate success of Street Glide caught the attention of other manufacturers and the

most experienced after-sales companies. When the Street Glide (FLHX) was introduced

the Harley Davidson already had several Touring models, with style, usually

conservative in the designer, in its line of production. Just six years since the launch of

Street Glide, Harley-Davidson alone has 13 distinct models of Baggers with varying

degrees of accessories that can leave the store just the way the customer wants it.

Harley Davidson has the longest history in the tourism industry and its bikes are the

largest references, regardless of the context of style. Some references are official

designations of the factory model, such as FLHX, AKA: Street Glide (FLHX was used by

HD decades ago for a limited series of Baggers Shovelheads, one of the 1960s brand

classics.

But Bikers Baggers not marketed on production lines as are most motorcycles, these

bikes are truly two-wheeled artwork, are produced individually at the customer's

request, there are several experts in the making of these super bikes on the planet.

This style of motorcycle is the most modern of bikers styles. Among the main features

of the classic baggers are: the side luggage compartments are elongated and closing

with the rear fenders, both almost touching the ground, large front fairing and front

wheel in size larger than the rear wheel and other typical details in the fairing And

accessories and mechanics. Of course the limit for creating a Bagger is the pilot's own

imagination and the ability of the designer who will perform the job. In theory you can

turn any bike into a Bagger, but the cost-benefit ratio makes all the difference, far

beyond the financial. According to Villis Design Villis, the most popular models for

Bagger customization are the Harley Davidson Street Glide, CVO and the Electra Glide

and Ultra Glide, because these models have the perfect structure to withstand

extreme modifications, extra weights The Baggers demand. The quality and longevity,

especially of the engine, make the owner's investment not to be lost over the years,

moreover, it will always remain a Harley Davidson. "Harley is the only bike in the world

that transforms everything and it's still 100% Harley, it only improves, it does not lose

its personality," says Villis.

A common thing is that the customer who has a Harley Touring is always making

modifications, changing their clothes, so he always has a new bike, without changing a

bike, in fact. This is one of the hallmarks of Harley Davidson on the market as a multi-

generation family passion. In Villis' words "The Harleys Touring are special, perfect for

being Baggers, they drag a Wolkswagen beetle, they are power plants, they are the

motherships for the Baggers."

Meet the Vilis Design- Builder specialized in Baggers motorcycles in Brazil

Villis Design was created in 1994 by Villis Oliveira, but only in 2010, was made, starting

from a Harley Davidson Ultra 2001, the first Bagger, in orange. In 2004 the owner of

this Bagger changed the clothes and made a new Bagger using the same Harley, this

time made it more radical, in black color. The idea of working with the creation of

Baggers came after seeing in American magazine with bikes Baggers. He liked the style.

He saw potential in this style here for Brazil, but at the time, according to Villis, the

problem was that, in addition to being a novelty around here, he still had the problem

of not having his own bikes for this personalization. Until a friend came along with An

Ultra Glide detonated, which was perfect: "I introduced the idea of the Baggers to him,

I showed him pictures and he broke the idea and decided to do it, Villis recalls. And

since then Villis Design's Baggers have not stopped winning the streets and the best

events in Brazil. One of the challenging and successful projects was to create a Bagger

based on a 1500cc Suzuky Boulevard, which, according to Villis, was a mega challenge

because it lacks the structure to handle the Baggers accessories, but the work had a

surprising end result, Charmed the owner who parades happily among the best

Baggers in Brazil.

The creation of a Bagger at Villis Design takes on average from one month to be

completed, the time to completion depends on the project. After the development the

project is sent to the client, so that he evaluates everything done remotely, that is, the

client sends the bike and can follow the development of the work via social network

and chat. Villis Design also makes restoration of fairings, wheels, paintings, installation

of accessories. Provides assistance to customers after the sale of parts and all

necessary guidance for installation of accessories. Always enthusiastic about

challenges, he is very inspired, "I do what I like, I'm always thinking of creating

something, innovating and doing something amazing," explains Villis. He is self-taught

in art, always creates and solves everything in this universe of personalization and

maintenance of fairings and painting. Besides the beauty and exclusivity the Baggers

have in the chests an increase of up to 40% of load capacity.

Villis Design always strives to please everyone with great enthusiasm for the pleasure

of giving life to the customers' ideas. Among one of the legal and challenging projects

was the design of an ultra orange "on fire", according to Villis, the first impression

seemed an unfeasible project, because traditionally for the effect flames work out it

would have to be done on a black bike, but Not for him, who managed to make the fire

work on the orange bike. The project was carried out at Adriana Riemer's Ultra Glide, a

customer in Rio de Janeiro. "Villis did a great job on my bike, which I keep in my living

room as a work of art. I knew what I wanted and he did the layout. Super professional.

I'm from Rio and it was worth doing with Villis, in São Paulo. A Baby, as Adriana calls it,

has the look of flames inspired by the color of her red hair lit up like flames, always

success wherever they go.

For women and men of short stature and who wish to achieve the dream of having a

high performance motorcycle but do not feel comfortable with their height when they

ride a motorcycle of this type, because they do not have 100% support with their feet

on the ground, the suspension Air is the best feature to control the height of the bike.

For those who do not know yet, even a person of little height can fly a higher

motorcycle and have total control of it for the maneuvers stopped with the use of air

suspension. The installation is simple and gives 100% safety to the pilot. In the United

States there are hundreds of manufacturers, but for people here in Brazil, the option is

still import and prices vary immensely, starting from 3 thousand reais. Villis Design

sells and installs this accessory, as well as other customizations for Reduce the ground

height of the bike, such as reducing the height of the seat upholstery, creates more

anatomical designer, more harmonious with the rider. So anyone can realize the

dream of piloting a Touring without fear. Not only the Touring can receive

improvements of beauty, performance and comfort for the pilot. According to Villis

anything is possible to do to make a bike the perfect extension of the rider and the

investment is worth it. As he says: "You only live once!" So it's worth to realize the

dreams and be happy always! Our bikes are our extensions and to be perfect and

exclusive, we have to give a personal touch, leave them to our style.
