Default what would you suggest

Here's a good one for you guys.

So yesterday I was on my way home from Sturgis and all of a sudden I lost all power to the rear wheel. I pull over and notice my f*cking chain is missing, also 3 of the 5 bolts holding my rear sprocket are gone and the last two are barley in there but mangled. So now I have to get a new chain and sprocket. I have that chain oiler system but would like to get rid of that garbage due to it making everything filthy, if you had to get a new chain and sprocket what would you get?

Puagcho rigid frame
1980 Shovel w/ 5spd
S&S 80in stroker kit.

Get rid of the chain oiler and use an o ring type chain.
