PM Goldenchild and Pashnit. It's summer and both are busy and might miss your thread.
I second the EK ZZZ 530, don't go cheap on your chain. You might need to get a chain break tool too, and depending on mileage, etc. you might need cush drive rubbers while you're in there.

Oh heck yes, when you wear them out it's best to change them as a set chain and sprockets.
Call Honda east Toledo. I believe I paid around 150 for my zzz chain last summer
http://store.schnitzracing.com/ek-chain-530-zvx-3-x-ring/. What about this one? Ek's official website says it's rated at 10,600 vs the zzz at 11,100.
I know paying the price for a good chain sucks but consider the downsides. At best the chain is going to wear quicker and cause wear to your sprockets which you have to pay for ....again. At so-so you sling a chain and end up taking your clutch release rod and seal which means the cases have to be split. (there is a recent post here about that) At worse you blow your cases apart when it lets loose. There are some things I cheap out on but a chain is not one of them. I buy Triple ZZZ's for the street and 530-DR2 for racing.

I just went through the process of deciding on a new chain and went with a DID 530 ZVM-X with black finish. I think it was $182 delivered, I didn't think that was a bad deal.
