The pawn brokers sell Gold cheaper than High St Jewellery shops.
On a sensible note, MandP direct are very reasonable. Or try Debbens.
Warning I have a Renthal chain fitted to my Z1000 and over the winter the gold colour discoloured - so avoid Renthal.
DID X ring chain is what I will probably buy next time.

I have bought a few on ebay from Brooksbank and have been very impressed with quality and price - approx £70. I have one on my GT750, GS1000S and GPZ1100 Uni. Gold has been very good and not tarnished like some you see.

Paste the above into your search drive. This is their shop. Hopefully it will work as I am not very sharp with the computer.

I think I've tried one of these, Chinese, used it to make sure of my alignment after a wider wheel conversion on my ZRX, rather than wrecking an expensive chain if it was out, I didn't look after it, lasted a couple thousand hard ridden miles ok, but went bad really quickly at the end.

I personally use DID chains - had a cheap chain 'let go' some years back, luckily didn't do any damage but have seen some who weren't so lucky that its happened to.
Guess its a case of buy what you can afford.
Most Bike shops should be able to supply a decent chain if you know the pitch and number of links ie 530 x 122
Debbens -

Zpower -

Hope this is of some use

Hi mate could always wear it round your neck out in Venezuala or even Splott when you get back home
