Wrong Chain?
« on: April 09, 2013, 03:39:41 PM »
The chain on the CB750 I just bought looks huge. This chain measures 63" without the master link and is 3/4" wide. Does anyone know if that is the right size chain for a 69 CB750?
Thanks!

Most chains are gonna be way longer than you need when you buy them. Use a chain breaker and take it down to the right size, then install the master link.
