This is Pat Perry's 1978 Puch Mini Magnum build. Pat is a super

- Draw four card (yup, important)

- Gila reeds

- Motomatic Destroyer

- Custom intake

- 24mm Mikuni flatslide

- 3 shoe clutch

- DMP unstuffed crank with added oiling hole

- Rebuilt bottom end, new bearings/seals

- Treats CDI, high RPM box

- Redone seat

- New cables

- White sparkle automotive paint

- 2.5″ Zap tires

- new tubes

- New decals

- Gold drive and pedal chain

- New grips

- M-bars

- EBR forks

-New shocks

- new black pedals




Pat also credits these individuals with helping on this build:

Tyler Jaynes (intake/muscles), Peter McD (bequeathing of magic),
Brian Baker (seat), Kevin Fischer (paint), Benjiman (coolness parts),
and Motomatic (sexy pipe).


According to his GPS, Pat got this Magnum up to a speed of
63.3 mph with 16 x 40 gearing. That's scary!

Pat perry is also super talented with a pen and a brush.
You may have seen some of his work floating around the
