No bolts or gaskets required. I absolutely recommend Speigler lines. I also get mine from Tom Cutter at the Rubber Chicken Racing Garage in Yardley, PA - because I like Tom and he runs an outstanding business.

The GD additive is powdered moly in suspension in a carrier oil. It is added to the gearbox or final drive with ordinary GL5 gear oil 1 to 10, or 10% of the fill. Certainly the first use. After that I mix it about 5% and that seems to be plenty.
Edit Added: GD401 was the gear oil additive described above. GD 525 was the sticky moly grease used for splines.

Turns out TS-Moly no longer sells GD-525 but they sent me a link to their replacement product which is sold through Beemershop.com

Looks like good stuff, I will be ordering a 2oz jar here pretty soon. I will probably tear it down in a week or two if the weather changes here in far east TN. We have had a few days in the 60s and I can't bear to have it in pieces while the sun is out.
I'm about to buy a beater bike I can thrash in the countryside that doesn't weigh so much as my K75 at 550 lbs. I am not young. I found a 2005 Suzuki S40 650 for $1000 with less than 10k on it. It weighs like 380. It will let me work on the K75 and save it for longer trips. That is my plan anyways, my wife may have different plans.

Since we went off topic with stuff....
We recently got some samples of a grease that is mostly PTFE in a silicone carrier.
One month later, low ambients, high load, we aren't seeing any wash-out and our intervals look like they might drop.
Cost is 5-8% higher than average and way less than the specialty stuff. Environmentally friendly, not to be confused with bio-degradable but your dog can step in it, not track a mess and lick his paws and not be dead.
Just saying, the old tried and true is just that, old.

Some years back I was purchasing replacement bearings for swing arms on some dual sport bikes (KLR-650 and Elefant 650). The bearing distributor suggested a synthetic PTFE-bearing grease. I tried it and had good results. Of course, given the state of those old bearings, bacon grease would have been an improvement.
The synthetic grease, called Super Lube, is readily available.

A more expensive lubricant from Chemours (a DuPont spin-off company) is called Krytox. I have used this on splines with good results. Frequent cleaning and lubrication of splines can help reduce wear and make many lubricants give good results.
