RK Chain Cutter and Press Fit Rivet Tool - 2WheelPros.com linky
A lot of riders on here have been purchasing chains lately, but not much follow up on how you are putting them on or if you are getting a shop to do it for you.
I researched and researched chain brake/rivet tools for a couple months before ordering my chain and I can say I found quite a few pieces that seemed a little less than quality.
Anyway, I chose this one and it did me well. Turns out the site still has them on sale with $63 off. I was smart and ordered an extra master link from Honda East Justin when I ordered my chain and it came in handy as a practice piece (wasn't exactly what it was meant for). I missed putting a piece in the tool and the pin slid all the way out
Once I input the correct piece it worked perfectly.
(I was picky about what happened with this install because the last chain I had put on another bike it flew off 10 minutes later, and it was a reputable shop that riveted it on)
