Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Still recommend 2 of you. Unless you use a clip link (DON'T). The 'belting fuck out of it' is to burr over the ends of the pins through the 8 plate. This is why you need a second pair of hands to hold a drift on the back of that link. Have a look at almost any chain - you will see that 2 pins have a hole through them....that is the joining link.

Well, when I have spare (Bwahahahahaha!!) money I'll buy a couple of different chains and try thenm all out on a test rig. In the mean time I'm thinking of spending the $300 for chain and sprockets...
On a lighter note - anybody want to pay me to do shit for them? Must be good money ($14/hr plus is about right for temp work...) no manual labour coz I'm too old and slow.

Mate that's why I'm telling you buy a DID like I did and I have the tools to help, no large hammers needed because of the type of rivet link they use with the wee hollow end bits to swage over by the fantastic tool.
Otherwise the bike shop option isn't bad as you are doing the sprockets as well as I said earlier, because this isn't something you want to have any chance of going wrong.
Anyone else on the Sawyer ride to Castlepoint ride a few years back when a guy Robert had his ZZR1100 lock up on a straight between Featherston and Greytown? I was two behind him and the impressions were 1 christ what's causing this havoc?, 2 geez look at all that smoke coming off his back tyre and 3 that's kinda poetry in motion as he skidded along finally going over into the grass and the bike decking there. In this case it was the front sprocket that came off, but if a chain breaks and jams the same thing can happen. Robert was lucky on a straight road though and a soft landing on the grass berm but there were cages and bikes having to take evasive as we were all streaming past cars at the time, but if that had been a left hand curve and he'd been chucked into the path of an oncoming vehicle - splat!!!
Any bike over about 50hp I'd say don't even risk having a clip link on it - modern dirt bikes like my WR have rivetted links these days. If a clip link lets go you're toast at any speed if your chain jams the wheel.

Aaah-Hem!
Sometimes they do (I got a "genuine" OEM chain for my CB1100 on special. Dunno if they still are, but Honda chains used to be RK brand).
But, yeah, generally you just order the exact length (No. of links) you need.
ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.
