The problem is, this time, I want the bike to be shaft drive. I was adjusting chains at every gas stop on the KLRs, and I'll be damned if I do that again. So, that really only leaves me one choice. I'm not keen on the GS since it's such a tall fat pic of a bike, but it is what it is.

Well... was it the chain? I've never had a problem with adjusting the chain on the DRZ (save the stock one that stretched like a rubber band) or the Dakar.

I run DID Xring 520's... got 8K out of the stock DRZ chain... sitting at 14k on the DID... The Dakar I put a new DID on it the day I picked it up... it's at 8k right now. Haven't had to adjust it yet. But I carry a can of chain lube with me and hit the chain every 200 miles or so... (probably should just invest in a scottoiler)
