That looks like that clear stuff to me. You don't happen to have the part numbers do you? (I know somebody that works for F.A.G.......might get me a good deal!)

The grease is a blue/green color. Other than the bearing number 6205-2RSR-L038-C3 the sku is B006317C6U

The bearing discussions are all interesting and informative. I agree with others that it's best not to direct pressurized spray directly at the hubs of our wheels. It forces water under the seals and that is enemy #1 of bearing life. Those seals snap in nicely, but are not totally water "proof".
I posted several photos a few years ago when I was changing some bearings. I found that all of the old HD bearings I pulled had very adequate lubrication. Those bearings were made in Canada. They came from 2010 limited wheels.
HD is the only source, to my knowledge, of the ABS bearings (with the built-in encoder). But the non-ABS 25mm bearings are widely available. The F.A.G. bearings I bought looked great inside after inspecting them prior to install. Very decent prices at just about anywhere other than the HD dealership on non-ABS bearings.
Never a bad idea to change the bearings when you change the tires, espeically considering how many miles we get on a set of our tires these days and how cheap these bearings are compared to the cost of a failure. Use plenty of assembly lube during installation, and don't "over-seat" the bearings or you will compromise the race tolerances relative to the *****...causing increased bearing wear and possible early bearing failure.
