More Inspections
Tear in the drive shaft boot
The first thing I noticed tonight was the tear in the drive shaft boot. While this can be replaced without removing the tranny, it is giving me more motivation to go with option 3 and redo everything from the ground up.
Flat spot on the front wheel
The flat spot, seen above, might be a bigger issue. I'll have to put a query out to the list and ask what they think. I don't want to replace it, but will if it's a safety issue.
A few more things in the photos. As always, please leave a comment here or in the photo galleries if you have any info. Thanks!

Bill,
I wouldn't play around with that dent in the front rim. Replace it before you take that thing out on the street,(and maybe give the tires a real close inspection--9 years is a long time). Also, be sure to resolve any fork problems which can be critical on /5's. Great looking Toaster. Enjoy!
