The two greases I have mixed are Honda Moly 60 and Wurth Sig 3000 grease.
Wurth Sig 3000 is a very thick, very sticky, green grease. It can be a bit hard to find. It is available here:

I have most recently simply ordered and used GD-525 Moly Grease from:

Paul....Want an opinion for the next time I lube a spline...probably this winter on a K75 or K11.
Grainger has some spray moly...like a paint, that is a dry film lubricant. I used it on my R1150, but then I chickened out and used some Honda moly as well. Do you think this spray moly might stand a chance of working fairly well for the K bikes?

I don't mind experimenting a bit, since I could always dive into it again.

I don't think it does what we want by itself. A good spline lube lubricates, cushions, and prevents corrosion. A thin film of moly can be sprayed on as a dry film, or a moly powder can be brushed on, or even a high content moly paste can be brushed on, but all three methods would still lack cushioning and anti-corrosion additives.

Since moly molecules bond with steel a brushed on or sprayed on film is a good idea. With a moly grease we rely on the moly being enough in the grease to actually coat and bond the metal. I hava at times brushed on a 70% moly paste in a thin coating and then applied the heavy moly grease too.
