Haven't had a chance to dig in yet. Not sure when I'll have time. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm starting to think about all the "may as well" and "as long as I'm in there" stuff. I do think I could go with a slightly smaller drive pulley in the front.

There's been a thread or 2 on here about changing the front one and best I can recall, a 33T will only drop it about 100 - 150 rpms. Someone did a 34T on an FXR without a longer belt but I don't know about that on the Touring swing arm.
If you're sure that's transmission fluid dripping off the inner, only thing it can be is the wedding band seal, not quad or main. Doesn't matter, inner is coming off regardless. Probably find the inner primary bearing race walked and cut into it to be leaking that bad.
The race walking thing makes sense. I've heard of that, but never dealt with it.
I spent Saturday night at a friend's house in Baton Rouge. He reports that his garage floor is clean. Sunday night was at a motel in Arkansas. Tons of rain Monday morning, so I'm not sure I would have noticed if it was leaking then. Right now, my guess is this happened on Monday during the ride back home.
Doesn't make much difference, really.
I should have a few hours tomorrow where I can get the inner removed. That should answer most of the questions.
