Its more awesomer now that shes an ex 
I think the previous owner would bend the rim or something and then tighten the spokes to compensate for the wobble and over a period of time the tension from the spokes cracked the hub. And the Boulder bashing at high speeds probably helped a bit.
I have never seen anything like it either. I was pretty upset when I found it.

I am bringing this thread back from the dead. Got a wild hair today to start back on the dualsport project. First off I ordered a new wheel on friday so she should be back on two feet by the end of the week.
One thing that was bothering me was the out dated FMF can that was on this bike. It just made the bike look old in my opinion. Since this is an RFS motor it is hard to find aftermarket exhaust systems because nobody makes them anymore. So I took one of my spare DR.D mufflers for our race bike and decided I was going to make my own system for this bike.
I still have to come up with an exhaust mount for the muffler and the mid pipe by the kick stater. This is a mock up out of mild steel. IF I like it I will probably make a finished system out of stainless. I am going to tackle the header later on as I don't have a collector or the small diameter pipe.
This is how it sits as I type this.. I was getting a little hot and decided to come in a take a little break.

SO I completely lost interest in this bike and ended up selling it. when I sold it I told the customer what I had planned to do with the bike and he seemed interested. Well long story short he called me up and asked it I would finish the dual sport conversion for him. I was reluctant at first because I dont like working for other people when it comes to building bikes. I ended up taking the bike in and finishing the build. Here are the finished pictures. Nothing to special just mounted a DRZ tail light and blinkers. Also added the trailtech voyager unit. I rode it up and down the street and I got to admit I have some sellers remorse.
thats badass, too bad you sold it
