Drive Shaft seized on the final drive splines

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but what exactly was wrong with your RS with 22K miles on it before you tore it apart?

The very first post of this thread describes the problem in detail. In brief, the rear end of the driveshaft mates to the input shaft of the final drive via splines. The final drive input shaft slides in and out of the rear end of the driveshaft slightly as the rear suspension extends and compresses. The joint was seized solid on my bike due to water infiltrating the swing arm somehow.
