D.i.d. Chain....

Some chains with press fit masterlinks dont even come with the clip to make sure the outer link plate doesn't come off, you have to peen over the pins like the last 525 EK o-ring chain I bought for the duck. The outer link plate off an old chain drilled out and put over the top of the press fit master plate link trick works really well. If you have the right size "C" clamp you can just put that sucker in the middle and clamp it right down, chain press is a little easier though, but a c-clamp will only run you $5. The press fit master links and the most secure and long lasting chain links though. You truly do not have a "weakest link" when you do it right. They are like having one continuous factor built chain.

I run RK chain on all my bikes since I have a in at the purchase point. I bought a RK chain tool that works on both rivit type and clip type chains. You can try using all of the other things but this works really good. Try your local dealer or I mean Stealer to get the product or go to www.FTMBiz.com for it.

I see I'm not the only one who uses two vise grips on the outside of the link to press it on...it works...but you got to get them on just right or you'll cock the plate and make it a real bitch.

Right now I run TYC brand chain. I've never had to wrestle the master link on like you guys say you have to.

How much does a box of DID go for? I paid around $80 for a box of TYC.

Cheap tsubaki??

 

damm skippy..there light and strong at 24 bucks a pop.....stretch a little at first...but your bike coasts twice as long as with the did chain, and your sprockets dont wear out of round.....
