I need some help and info please, I purchased an 87 1200 in January this year with 74K on it in great mechanical shape, prior owner kept everything up on this bike. I have 77K on it now and just noticed a samll oil leak just starting to drip a drop or 2 of oil after being parked from the rear of the boot on the front of the drive shat and it has also started to accumulate a drop of oil on the rear flange of the drive shaft where it attaches to the fianl drive. I am a mechanic so Iooked at the Haynes manual, and it said to take it to a shop basically, due to specialty tools to get into this area. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and can help me figure this one out, if I can do this myself or take it in and about what it would cost. Thanks folks!
