Did you take any pics Mike? just to get a better understanding of what exactly and where your talking about.

Wow, there's something strange going on there.
If I was going to have a guess at the cause/s, I'd say the suspension is to stiff, tyre pressures are to high, tyre side walls to stiff and the bike spends a lot of time on the back wheels or jumping.
I would even add towing into the mix.
This is purely a guess, as I have no idea how or where you ride.
Can you give us some idea of how the bike is ridden?
Are you the original owner?
Was the bike used as a demo machine?

Hi, I'm the 2nd owner had 800 km when i got it i know he had it apart some so how long where those bolts loose??.. or did it happen after the breaks? We run some fairly rough trails and with this bike run them faster than i did on my old Honda could handle. I do some wheelies, not like the boys on u tube but some, no crazy jumps nothing the bike shouldn't be able to handle.Wow, there's something strange going on there.

You've now got a one off custom machine.
Still surprised to see where the frame cracked.
Thanks for coming back with the pics.

Mike i have never see damage like this to a G2 machine. I'm guessing since you said the previous owner said he had, had it apart in the past that he didn't either tighten the bolts all the way or did not use lock tight when he put them back on. And with all the bolts being loose like that it can only be expected that the connecting joints will fail over time. it looks like you were able to come up with a good repair atleast
