Heavily armed police have raided an outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse in relation to the suspicious death of a Melbourne man six months ago.

Homicide detectives, assisted by the special operations group, executed a search warrant at the Bandidos Brunswick headquarters early on Wednesday morning following the death of Michael Strike.

Mr Strike's body was found on a roadside opposite the Keilor cemetery on Sunday, May 25, sparking the homicide investigation.

Homicide Detective Inspector Michael Hughes said investigators believe Mr Strike was in Brunswick the afternoon before he died and may have visited the Bandidos clubhouse.

Mr Strike was last seen on CCTV footages walking along Weston Street, near the clubhouse, about 5.20pm.

"We are not saying that the death of Michael definitely involves an outlaw motorcycle gang but we are able to confirm that this has formed one avenue of our inquiries," Mr Hughes said.

"Michael was not a member of the Bandidos, however whether or not he was associated with anyone who is part of an outlaw motorcycle gang is part of this investigation."

There have been no arrests following the raid.
