Hi - I have a pair of 2012 Reba RL forks (dual air) that I bought second hand and want to give them a service before I start using them but need a bit of advice...

Is the basic service kit like this one (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rock-Shox-2012-Service-Basic/dp/B007FTKXWY) all that I need as far as seals etc go?

I have read that I also need 5w and 15 oil but was a bit confused about grease. The tech pictures seem to show the military grease being used, but I also need the buzzy slick honey? That seems to be just for the wiper seals. Any recommended alternatives to either or best to stick with what the manual says?

Thanks

    I got all my parts from TF Tuned, just rang them and they sent me what I needed. You can get small amounts of the honey etc from eBay for a fraction of the cost of buying a large pot.

    You'll need military grease for the air Spring and honey for the wiper seals (or equivalents)
