While I have never been unfortunate enough to snap a chain, it's quite a high penalty response. Mostly, the chain recoils then binds into the engine block. It's relatively cheap to prevent that from happening, so I usually seek out case savers for my sleds.
Secondly, the OEM sprocket covers are usually plastic. As I wallow in the mud like a pig, the mud often cakes around the sprocket. I prefer metal sprocket covers that all mud to escape.
For $60 or so, Sandman is an simple, yet incredibly nice piece of kit. While I have used their stock photos to show the parts, I eventually decided to get them in silver. Ever since a purple aftermarket spring ended up next to a gold chain on a orange bike.. I've been a bit wary of 'too' much color.
I will get a nice photo of the actual bits when it's not sleeting out.
