Honda 550F Drive Chain recommendation
« on: July 31, 2023, 11:00:52 AM »
1976 Honda 550F - What is the best drive chain? I have read about a 530 chain with 100 links, non-o-ring.  Please let me know what is best.

Stock is 100L DAID. I've used D.I.D. and IZUMI with success in the past (not 550s specifically, but the brands).

On my bike the standard DID50 rollerchain has been the poorest ever. Seems the DID50HDS is no longer around, or?
