Belt drive! My '00 Road King is approaching 100k on the original belt. The only time I even adjust it is when the rear wheel comes off for a new tire.

My two chain drive bikes, the '76 Ironhead Sportster and the '93 Ducati 900 SS both get their chains cleaned with WD40 and lubed with 20w-50 motor oil. Like others have mentioned, wipe as much off as possible after application. Do this often, and it goes really fast - like 10-15 minutes. Neglect it, and it takes a lot longer to properly clean the chain. I get very good chain and sprocket life with this procedure.
