Need to make a choice between Honda OEM sprockets/chain an other 3rd party vendor options. Honda OEM chain is almost twice the cost of 3rd party stuff and I tend to think you get what you pay for. I was intrigued by DID 530 ZVMX X-Ring Chain but saw some forum comments about oem steel lasting longer than plated products. Waiting for your thoughts & experiences ... less the BBQ side trips 
BACKGROUND:
In a previous post I noted a clanking/clicking noise coming from drive chain area. From the feedback it seems I am due for a new chain and maybe sprockets at 50K miles. I just put 6K+ miles on my xcountry trip so am going to take bike to dealer for oil, checkup, etc. I anticipate that dealer may verify clanking/clicking noise is drive train related so I want to pre-select the replacement part myself (don't trust most of the dealers/mechs in San Diego).
