99 Valk and just a question on Pumpkin grease

My Valks almost 2 years old to me.
I have put maybe 2K miles on it.
Since I never intended to ride the bike really.
It was to be a trike project.
And the rear would have been tossed.
So knowing nothing about the rear end as I do now.
I just cleaned up the rear end, degreased it and loaded it up with synthetic bearing grease and new O-rings.
Whats the odds it has slung out the grease by now??
I havent seen any grease anywhere??
I now know of course.
I should have used moly at the time.
Im in alot worse physical shape then I was 2 years ago and Im not looking forward to taking it all apart again as I still dont ride the bike but once a week to keep all fluids moving while its up for sale.
You guys think I should redo it anyway??
Just looking for a few opions, not to be scolded or what to use.

Many of us don't use moly grease on the wheel splines. I wouldn't worry about it. I use Bel Ray waterproof grease and have had no problems in 133K miles.

Thats what I thought more or less.
Just needed some encouraging words so I dont have to redo it.
Thanks
