Hey all.... looking for a source of 630 series Gold chain...cannot find it anywhere...
I'm wondering if somebody knows of a place?

If not...where's a good place for us Canadians to get 88 links worth of decent 630 series chain?

Any reccomendations!?

Thanking you all in advance!!
Cheers!
Brendan

I just ordered an EK630RSO (98 link/ no stock on 88link) for a customer through Motovan.
Not alot of choices in 630, I went with 530 and got the EK530MVXZ in chrome.

I'd swap to a 520 or 530 ......so much lighter........

I am considering that..pending price differences...but my sprockets are in such good condition...we shall see...

(CB750 K8) got one from (davidsilverspares) did not ask for gold but that is what they sent it did have a press on master link you have to ask for the clip type.

I switched to 530 as well. I know a 520 would work but I never saw sprockets for 520 to a fit a 750.

I wonder what the weight savings would be between 530 and 520. I know the 630 is massive but does it ever look cool!

754 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2010, 08:12:57 PM »

Not everyone thinks it looks cool...

Skunk Stripe · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2010, 09:52:02 PM »

Never said everyone thinks it looks cool

Only those with good taste think it looks good!

Cool! Thanks guys~! So far the leader is DSS across the big lake...with a 630 gold alloy 88 link replacement chain (THANKS BOLLINGBALL!). I'm still looking though!

How long do shipments take from David Silver Spares?

Those colored chains from Cycle X are BAD-ASS Too!!

bollingball · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:38:04 AM »

I have dealt with DSS 3 or 4 times with the cheapest shipping took about 5 to 7 days one order was 4 days. I had to call once to make sure I was ordering the correct part VERY VERY good people to work with.

how good of condition is your 630 in? if it will get you going why not just buy a new master link then when the money is avilable get a 520

HedNut · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2010, 04:56:34 AM »

My 630 is in Great condition "stretch" wise...with absolutely no play...but there are a few stiff links from sitting soooooo long. I had it soadking in ATF fluid for almost 2 weeks... it made a HUGE difference...but still a few stiffies. I'm sure it would "unstiffen" really quick with a few rides...I've always just been horny for some Gold chain... and the more I think about it...the more i LOVE the BEEF of the 630.... everybody who's been to my place and seen the chain have said... "HOLY S^%T that's a big ass chain" And I'm like..."yeah" ...that's how I roll dood....big and heavy...

All good fun. I really like the idea of weight savings with the 520/30...and the plethora of availability...but girth is cool too! ahah I'm still up in the air about it.... but I'll probably stick with the 630 for now.

And I may even do what you say...make sure the M.L. is good, or buy a new one and ride on that for a bit until I know if I want different ratio's or something! (which would quickly lead me to the 520/530)

Cheers!
And Thanks a lot everybody for all the fantastic input!!

what i did to resurect my chain was while the ol'lady is out pour some motor oil in a pan and stick your chain in it. heat the oven to 300 and pop it in there for about 20-30 min then pul the pan out and let it sit and cool back to room temp. it takes a while (oil has a high specific heat) but when done it should be nice and loose hang the chain to drain over the pan for a few days then wipe clean.

HedNut · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2010, 09:13:33 AM »

No way!?..that's a nifty idea! I may get beaten if the house smells funny...but I think I can do the same on the ol' BBQ! Set it on super low heat...let it slowly rise to 300 under the lid...and leter' go for a while. I think I may try that! Thanks MC1112!!

Is this the gold chain you're after?

bollingball · « **Reply #22 on:** August 24, 2010, 12:07:48 PM »

My new (630) 88 links without master link gold chain out of the box from DSS weighs 5lb/5oz. I do not have a 520 or 530.so that is all I can give.

HedNut · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2010, 04:58:03 AM »

Oh awesome bollingball! Good to know! Now we just need somebody to measure their converted lenght worth of 530 and get a comparisson.

Schmthaus! That's exactly what I'm looking for!...just a few more links, a lot less hair and a gender change...we'd be all set!

Quote from Cycle X: Approx. 3 lbs of weight can be shaved off using a 520 sprocket and chain combination.
Even more weight can be reduced if you have a 77-78 with the massive 630 chain and sprocket combo.
Fits 69-78 Honda cb750's
