Thanks for the replies everybody. I think I'm going to pass this one over to the mechanic. I have done clutch rebuilds, brakes rebuilds, etc but this particular repair seems a little more involved.
I plan to ride this bike into the ground so I'm guessing the investment is worth it in the long run. I'm shooting to get at least 150-200K on this bike.
