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.

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

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, beer in the other, body used up, totally worn-out and screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

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.
What a wonderful philosophy you have,

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 - http://www.debben.co.uk/530xring.html
Zpower - https://www.z-power.co.uk/merchantmanag ... cts_id=886 (630 chain)
Hope this is of some use

Wots up DOHC

Hi mate could always wear it round your neck out in Venezuala or even Splott when you get back home
Ha Ha..Exactly,especially after i thrashed it for a 1000 miles maybe..be really loose..Not bother much with Splott,more in the Roath upper class area

Drinks and ride in August ??
