Cool fix for flimsy LC 50 rear hubs

[crusty1]

My son (8 year old) recently bought a 02 KTM LC 50 SX Senior. Within a month he had blown out the rear hub...spokes pulled through the spoke holes (there's very little metal around these things) and it wasn't due to loose spokes. As a a more cost effective and long term fix (KTM only sells wheel assemblies for around $300) we put together a very cool looking solid billet aluminum rear wheel with shark like spokes (mag wheel look) and it totally rocks! He's done some big flat landings and hasn't even phased the new set up.

If any one is interested I was thinking of making up some more of these. I wish I had a scanner to post a pic of how it looks. Let me know if you're interested in a set up like this for your bike. Once again, I did the conversion on an 02 LC 50.

Thanks,
Dennis

how much? post pic if you can. I know a few people that might be interested. ONly problem is for AMA the hub has to be stock and only aftermarket rim.
