Kind of a misleading discription as I am convinced that riviting is the way to go on this bike. In the past (CB450SC, KZ700, GSX750R) I have repaced the rivet on master with a clip type master figuring that it was plenty strong enough. Never had any master link failures in the past.
On the big, beautiful Busa I am concerned that the clip type will not be enough. I can pick up a rivet tool for around $70.00 but I am wondering if anyone out there has ever done this at home. I teach Auto shop so mechanical things are not a problem for me. Also, the cost of the tool will probably pay for itself as compared to having my local high $ shop install it for me.
BTW - I am going to go with an RK GXW-530 as it seems to be the strongest one out there. (rated for bikes up to 1400cc) And and I have had good luck with RK chains in the past.
Any hints on the chain selection would also be appreciated.
