G8V resurrection of sorts...

That Hellion is AWESOME! Is there any Griso frame retained to build that or? Can you tell me where to get more information on it?

Tim, no it will be a custom, ground-up build. No info, you'll get it here as I go.

this Hellion with all the rear stripped away is brilliant .
I've always thought the Exile industrial look is better suited to the Guzzi engine than the Harley..
the Exile Fat Bloke front end and tank shape and the Hellion back would be my way .. though not sure how you find a back wheel/tyre combo to sit on the CARC that goes with the Exile 200 wide/15in front ... perhaps same size front and rear - sounds neat.

Art, Exile is here in SoCal, and we share the same powder-coater... the wide rear is no problem as the CARC Guzzis use 5.5"-180mm rear tire... which I'll be sticking with. In interest of handling for what I'll be using it here for in SoCal, I'll be using a 3.5"-120/70 front tire.

Todd: When your Roland Sands Design frame is made, please let us know the details of the weight reduction.

This will be a GT-Rx designed frame, built by RSD's head/lead fabricator. Two of his personal customs below. His Guzzi was featured in Cycle World a few years back, and his Turbo-injected BMW air-head.

More in a few weeks, working on machining the front chest cover to accept the blower. Pics as I have it.

Send the engine to me. It'd be best used to perk up my Eldorado . . . I'd have to do something to reduce the squirrels-in-a-cage whirring noises those things make.

Silastic some bits of old carpet into the inside of the rocker covers. That'll quieten it down! :mrgreen:

One tiny step forward... today the custom CNC triples to hold the 50mm Marz bazookas (as shown at the bottom), were completed. Next up is the timing chest/blower cover.

Thanks to Willy on this Forum, the dead bike below, RIP, is now in my possession.

Am I the only one here who, after seeing the pic, wished first that the Griso's owner survived the crash? :(
