Of the two, I would only use the MP-50 on the rear wheel splines. Given the choice between the MP-50 and a 60-70% moly paste, I would use the latter because the service manual requires minimum 60% moly (molybdenum disulphide) paste. Others have been happy with other stuff.

Why experiment with new stuff. Bel Ray and Guard Dog have kept splines alive for years. My splines are still perfect at 140Kand have never had Moly 60 since the first tire change. None of the service shops use it.

I have used honda moly and waterproof grease both. No wear with either. It's probably more important to put things together in the proper sequence and do regular servicing than anything else.

I have used front wheel waterproof grease since MGM was a baby in 1997.

243K+ miles and still on the same rearend, well actually that is a false statement as I converted him to a Trike with a, I want to say Mustang 6 rear end, but I'm not sure on that.    I know it is out of a (F)ound (O)n the (R)oad (D)ead make.

It is currently in our State of Iowa VRCC collection of parts.

search is your friend,  this and more about spline grease have been posted a zillion times. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,55037.0.html

paste not grease on splines. use bel-ray and any other paste grease u have to re-do every 10k, using moly paste at correct % then every 40k a redo is required. this is per some well know GL1500 goldwing shops,

The drive splines get surprisingly hot. Additionally, there's a lot of pressure on the splines and a lot of back and forth sliding motion. Any liquid type of grease will quickly be squeezed out of the splines, and leave you with no protection. The first time you remove your rear tire, you will likely find that the factory grease has dried out completely and solidified into something which does not even remotely resemble a lubricant. Actually, if it's a good Moly grease, it's still doing its job in this form, but it's not a pretty sight.

Honda specifies a spline grease which is 60% molybdenum disulfide ("moly"). Moly is a dry lubricant which bonds to the metal surfaces, offering lubrication properties even when the parts have squeezed everything liquid out. A lot of greases now say "Moly" on the container, but you must be careful about this. Ford and Caterpillar specify moly greases for particular applications, but the requirement is for 3% moly, not even close to the 60% requirement of Honda. It's not enough to buy a moly grease, what you really want is basically dry moly in a grease-like carrier which makes it easier to apply.
