best source for a 530 chain
« on: May 27, 2008, 02:11:11 PM »
I need a 100 link non o-ring chain for my 500K1. After less than 1K miles, my JC whitney chain is sticking in over half a  dozen places >:(

who have folks bought from with good results?

loudfastugly.com and montecdirect.com.

Brian at LFU seems to be running really low on 530 chain, though.

I went to the LFU link today and it was not working.

As for the engine, I haven't fired her up yet.  My Rieck'ed head is in place and all that is left is to finish constructing my new exhaust and install it.  I'm waiting on a pair of fork seals so I can finish putting the bike  back together and get her out of my living room ::)

I think you may just have a bad bookmark or link, the website is still there.  Regardless, last time I checked he didn't have much left in the way of standard 530 chain, which is why I bought from Montec instead.  Cost is a little less than LFU, but shipping is a little more, so it works out about even.
