Hansen's BMW in Oregon is THE place...but it's on the other side of the world from you!! Mostly they do the best at complete rear drive overhauls.

Maybe you're not looking for that? Seals? Is this just the grease seals? You might try Vech at Bench Mark Works in Sturgis, MS. http://www.benchmarkworks.com/ Give him a call and see what he can do for you.

Otherwise, you could try and find some local 'heads and/or have a Tech Day at your place. With enough (OK, just a little) enticement, you could probably find someone who has done this before and can show you or help you do it yourself.

Vech was probably thinking of Nathan at Boxerworks. He could also have meant Blue Moon Cycles. Both are in the Atlanta area. Boxerworks is probably the better choice. Blue Moon tends to be more vintage oriented...might just be my opinion. I bought parts from them a while ago and wasn't impressed with the quality.
