Manual calls for "Brand-name hypoid gear oil, SAE 90, API class GL 5" for both the gearbox and final drive.

Given these required specs, can someone recommend the best synthetic oil my bike? I only ride in temps between 50F and 90F but I do ride fairly aggresively. I'd rather use something I can pick up locally and not have to order online.
Thanks!
 
Amsoil 75W90 Severe Gear Lube and change it at double the BMW recommended interval. I used it this way for my 137,000 mile 2000 K1200LT. I sell it to many BMW shops and use it myself in my 2006 K1200LT.
 
I use Redline "Shockproof Heavy" in my Moto Guzzi Tranny and final drive. So far so good. Worth considering in my opinion. Good luck.
 
Thanks guys.
I'm going to try the
"SEVERE GEAR Synthetic Extreme Pressure (EP) Lubricant 75W-90 (SVG)" in the rear and trans.
