And you thought a 502 in a truck was sweet.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My old man had one of these up at his shop. He's got some pics of it at work...... It went out on the auction block before I could go see it. I can't imagine a 502 stuffed between the framerails of a motorcycle! One things for sure, it would make one hell of a ride!

There are a few running around here, they've been around for a couple years. They're bad as hell, and weigh so much that they have a reverse gear.

Fred T · 09-01-2003, 08:08 PM

Dang. I never heard of a 502 on a bike. Be the devil to pay if y'all had to lay one down.

tom hand · 09-01-2003, 08:21 PM

I went to a local bike nite in Memphis and there was a guy that had one with the 502 and nitrous....he weighed about 400 pounds maybe thats why he needed the juice...lol

what kind of tranny could you put in something like that

PanelDeland · 09-01-2003, 09:10 PM

They have been building them with 350's for a few years.I think the 502 came out about 2 years ago.There is a guy in Tx. that is buying up used JetRanger Helicopter engines(they are cheaper to replace than to rebuild to FAA specs)and installing them in Ranger pickups and on Bikes.Jay Leno has one and says it's biggest downside is burning the paint off the car in the next lane.(exhaust curves out the side)

Steven Sellers · 09-01-2003, 09:16 PM

It looks like from the phone number that they are a place that used to build them in Lake County TN when I was a teenager. Im 34 no so it has been a while.
If its the same place, they also at one time had a 3 wheeler with a 327 mounted on it.
If its not there still was a place that waas there building them since oh around 82/83

V10 power...

GMC JUNKIE TOO · 09-01-2003, 11:29 PM

Ive seen those before but wait till you see the one with a 426 HEMI in it

hobby67stepside · 09-01-2003, 11:36 PM

I know a guy who has a Boss Hog with a 350 in it. He loves to drive it and his wife rides with him all over (although she says its a rougher ride than the big Honda they had previously).

method2mymadnes · 09-01-2003, 11:38 PM

I live in the town where Boss Hoss is located. They have a 4.3, 5.0, 5.7, and the 502, they also build trikes. They have a 1 speed transmission which is GO!!!!!

Steven Sellers · 09-02-2003, 05:19 PM

Yea Im originally from the Dyersburg area myself and I was pretty sure that was the same bunch. Although I though they were in Tiptonville when they first started. My mother lives in Roellen outside of Newbern there

87 STEPPER · 09-02-2003, 07:59 PM

All i can say is what a waste of an awesome engine.

Thats more power than you could ever use on a bike and i hear they don't handle worth a damn.

But they shure look kool as hell.

Yep, there's a story going around about how one day when Leno was riding it, he quite literally melted the front off of a car that got too close to him...I'm pretty sure he covered the damage...

72chevyLWB · 09-03-2003, 07:52 PM

My boss checked one out in sturgis. It was about $45,000 after the rest of the options he wanted. That 502 will take that to a mid 6 second 1/4 time. There was a guy there that did the 1/4 mile run on a machine that has a wall on it to hold the bike and it was just over 6 seconds. Boss said that it was extremely well balanced, even easier to balance than his Harley. It weighs about 1300lb's though.
