CB750 - buying a new chain -looking for good reference
« on: July 20, 2006, 11:27:39 AM »
Im in the market for a new chain for my CB750K2 and was wondering if anyone had any good experiences with any companies recently -I was going to buy a Tsubaki HSL chain from Dennis Kirk - 102 links, 530 but thought Id ask here first.
Thanks

I just bought a o-ring 100 link Tsubaki chain from Deninis Kirk.  I don't know if I
bought the right chain or now....it seems to work fine...but the service was
excellent.

Just bought a Tsubaki HSL 100 link for my 550 from LoudFastUgly.com for $22 plus $9 shipping.  I don't think I've seen a better price anywhere else.

Back in the 70's on the k1 I had and k2 my friend had, we ran,
combine chains. That's right, bought them at the farm store.
Just needed to keep them oiled :)

I just bought the EK quadra X-ring 100 link chain and JT sprockets from dennis kirk and am totally happy with the purchase.  The chain comes with a rivet type master link, I ended up buying the screw type master link which installs with with an 8MM wrench.
I farted and made my son cry.

Hey Mr B, can you send me a couple of those screw type links? I "horse traded" for a couple of new RK X Ring chains, (1 for my K1 when I install the 1166cc engine, and one for my racer project with the 836cc engine) and I don't like the rivet type link? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
