Good morning all.
What's a little worrying is that they don't state the manufacturer of the chain, or its grade. There's some right old tosh out there, that may be gold & have X rings, but has the tensile strength of knicker elastic. As said, try B&C Express. Cheers. |

Barwel, on Ebay, try this....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SV650S-SV650-S...item4cee2b7ae8 Its the ebay site for DK Motorcycles. I had this kit on the SV and was great. Plus saves you a few notes on the one you posted. If you are after better qulaity chain, then try Tsubaki (Is that spelt right?!?!?!) lol. As I know Spannerman and others have said they are better quality.

Doh.....just noticed you put "Gold". Are you specifically after a Gold chain? If not, then the one I posted is fine. If yes.....please ignore said post!!!

As for getting it fitted, with the spare £20, buy yourself a chain reviter and do it yourself. Really rewarding I found. Plus, gives you the chance to clean all the back wheel and swingarm properly whilst its all off. Just a thought
