Pat McCormack is a machinist in Carlsbad, CA. This is what he's got to say about his tight little sporty:

When I found this bike on CL it was a finished build, completly gone trough and ready to run. I was finished with projects and just wanted a bike to ride. I covinced the wife this was the bike for me and that it didn't need a thing. Within a week it was torn apart in my shop getting the lower stance, new tank, seat, and rear fender mods.

Everyday my wife would walk by and shake her head, seeing the perfect bike in pieces. I got it back together for the Biltwell Bash, then took it apart again for more mods before the Smokeout. After Smokeout the bike was apart again for the third time this time just for repairs, but my good freind Kim Boyle (BCM) came to the shop with prototype bars from Biltwell. Well one thing lead to another and with the new bars came new modifications. With the help of my family and friends, I have a daily rider that I can say is the perfect bike for me.
