I think this is an interesting and (mostly) attractive build:

I saw that earlier as well. I personally love it. Good lines, nice two-tone color scheme.

His builds are always great. A lot of custom touches and great execution, but he rarely does anything too over the top or makes whacky choices.

my fave of his is this straightforward V9 based roadster

Yes, agree, that looks very nice!

Barbacane has been at the Griso before, I found this in my files, that he called Calibro:

The writer is clueless.

I like the bike, but don't think it's a big improvement over a stocker.

The Griso is such a unique, good-looking bike that modifications run the real risk of making it worse!

Fortunately that didn't happen here. Tastefully done, and still unmistakably Griso!


My challenge to these builders would be to come up with lighting that looks good and doesn't reduce visibility, though.
