chains, chains, and more chains...choices

[outlawbusa]

It's about time to swap out my chain...been browsing to see what's out there these days. x ring or o ring? Colored or not, they have an orange one to match...
RK, EK, etc ($139-$200)?

I found one I think will do pretty good, looks like it's rated strong and has weight reducing holes...item 370499002655
EK 530 MVXZ GOLD X-RING CHAIN 120 LINKS HAYABUSA R1 ZX | eBay

The you have one like this that is a fraction of the cost...yet I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to chains. Item 320683359786
530 O-Ring Red Chain Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 08-09 - eBay (item 320683359786 end time Apr-12-11 17:09:27 PDT)

Then there's this one...item 390096862674
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0096862674&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT


The prices are sooooo wide spread, which one do you trust in the upper ranges. One says for a Hayabusa, but then says up to 1000cc in the same ad ???

I think the first one is the best bet~!~~?~

Id get the EK in the first link, You do get what ya pay for in this area.
Maybe hit up Justin at Honda East for a price match or even better deal, gotta help the sponsors.

Thats dangerous, that later it gets, the easier it is to hit the "Commit to buy" button

 

[AJAY]

The first chain looks like the real deal. The other two are probably Chinese cr@p. This is not a place to cheap out.

Nah, not tonight...to late to be making a decision like that on Ebay...I'm sending Justin a PM now

I have had great luck with EK ZZZ chains . If you run it hard I would at least consider one

 

[AJAY]

This is probably obvious, but recommend you swap out the sprockets while you're at it. Nothing will destroy a new chain faster than old worn sprockets. FWIW, usually cheapest to buy a chain and sprocket kit if you're going with steel in stock ratios.

I have about 6 sprockets on the wall and all look like brand new, I swap sprockets so much for different track conditions then for street riding it's just not funny

Justin replied per PM very quickly and offered me a great price , even beat the best Ebay price I quoted...I'll order the ZZZ from him next pay check

 

[Commuta_Busa]
