The previous owner knew it was Lusk's and still let it go for $1,300?! Surprised at that. But still, great find and very cool to see. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to seeing the progress in the future.

anyone else notice the pipe mount? It's in front of the kick starter and looks like it goes to no where...

Metzger built it for Jeremy Lusk back in 06, when lusk switched to yz in 07 Sikspak (the graphics company) purchased the bike and powder coated the frame/ changed it up a bit and turned it into a display bike. Then the bike was sold on craigslist. After all of that it ended up in Kansas.

The suspension was serviced may 06 and there is a video of him riding it September of 2006 at Fitzpatricks Compound

I would restore that bike, keep the same bent frame and just let it sit in the garage. Cool find by the way with the pipe too. There are a lot of thing on eBay that ppl have no clue what they are selling. Keep the progress photos coming.

I am almost positive that they produced all of the billet parts, triple clamps included.

Here is an old gallery of Lusk I remember that was pretty good and has some OK photos of the bike.

Might be able to identify if it was the same bike because I know all of the guys had a couple, but its as close as it will get to the last version he rode.
