I also own a 2004 1100 V-Star. I have also replaced the hub clutch; once at 35k, 59k, 85k, and 100k. I currently have 123k and I'm still riding it. I do have a hud clutch at the ready for when the time comes. I have spoken to many dealerships and a couple of them have told me that this is common. One told me that it was increadibly rare and that it was probably defective (this dealer also sold snake oil and beany babies as investment opportunities). It's simply what happens when you ride alot. For those of you who are interested: starters last about 60k miles, exhaust pipes also about 60k, rear tires 9k - 11k, front tires 16k - 18k, breakes about 7k to 9k. Keep the rubber side down
