Looks good and not a bad price, I use the X-ring chain on the dirt bike and it's great at keeping all the crap out of the chain pivot points.

In reflection of "Christmas givaway" thead, I`d be happy to relieve you of them used components IF you like, you may donate them to our ministry for poor motorcyclists...
I do believe they`re still usable from the looks of it... Unless you`re gonna hang on to them fer spares...

You need to be on top of maintenance better. Follow the schedule for chain clean and lube and check entire chain when you lube it. That rust was probably there for a while. A friend of mine and his GF went down a Sportster back n the early seventies when the chain snapped and wrapped around the rear sprocket. Wasn't a pretty sight.

In the late 70`s I had a chain came off one time and cost me dearly!!!
On my 1971 CB750, case shattered where the front sprocket is...
New cases $400 + time to swap it out...
Yeah, I check regularly on maintenance items nowaday...
Merry Christmas

It is that thing that makes the noise to let you know you`re rolling, then at the same time slings oil all over that freshly cleaned wheel and rear of the bike...
MERRY CHRISTMAS

I wonder if all our garages looks the same. In looking at yours with your bike on the stand i could have been walking into my garage and not known the difference, even down to where the rolling tool box and kids skate board is
