Next question:
The arrows facing the right way and Basso is facing down but,
What torque should the bolts be for attaching the cover to the drive box?

Hi Ken, is it just called Molyslip?  I've not found any, not even on the Halfords website.  Then went to the local store and didn't have EP90 either.  Ended buying that from ebay. 
Is Molyslip the full name.
Cheers, Frank

Halfords sell the Slick product.

Modern GL5 oils are much better than the older type, which were in use when the Guzzi books were printed. It's unlikely that any of these additives will do much if you use modern gear oils.

thanks for that Brian.  So both the slick50 or the Molyslip are good to go with the EP90 in the drive box.  You mention GL5 modern oils but the latest castrol EP90 is still an old style oil I suppose.?  I've already got the EP90 now anyway.
Cheers, frank

Look on the bottle and see what the spec is. It should have a GL number there.
