Any suggestions on what to use for chain lube???

No need to lubricate the chain. It's already between the #2 and #3 cylinders, and engine oil lubricates it full time.

Very amusing thread...

I use both the Maxima chain wax and the PJ1 stuff. I've been really happy with both. I remember back in the good ol days hearing about racers who would soak their chains in a tray of vaseline that had been heated up until the vaseline turned to a liquid and kept that way until it soaked into the chain before returning to a "grease" state. Sounded good back then but I don't mind admitting that I never had the patience to try it. Instead, I've preferred spraying wax on immediately after returning home from a ride.
FWIW, to minimize overspray or dripping, I place a plastic shopping bag directly under the chain as I spray it to catch any drips and use a another plastic shopping bag as a glove when I wrap it around the chain and slide it through my closed fist. Definitely minimizes the mess.

Yet another vote for Maxima chain wax. It stays on until you take it off. I put a really thick coat before long trips and haven't experienced any need to adjust the chain between oilchanges.

Tri-flon/Tri-flow. Used it on my NEW GS1000 (1979) and got 44,000 miles out of the original chain. Have tried others and nothing seems better.

Downside: smells like bananas
