Gregg's Customs owner Gregg DesJardins may be a newbie to most readers but we can assure you that he won't remain so for long. After years of honing his skills making aftermarket parts for various sportbike applications, DesJardins needed a place to hang them, something to show-off what GC was capable of. The result was this fabulous RC51-powered, custom-framed bike he calls the GC-1000.
As detailed in the March issue, the GC shows a new direction for customs builders. DesJardins has basically applied a chopper build ethic to sportbikes. While most custom sportbikes used to fall in to the paint-n-pipe category, we're now seeing the kind of attention previously lavished on choppers. The GC bike takes it step farther, with frame, swingarm, tank and tailsection—heck, even the taillight!—all hand-fabbed by the builder.
From the story: “The tank you see here, believe it or not, was his first attempt. After seeing it in person we almost didn't believe him, swearing up-and-down that he'd made a hundred before it. It's that good.”
We can't wait to see what he does next.
