oops saw this this morning and assumed someone would have already replied. Yes they're the same AFAIK but there is a difference between 'n' and 's' models (you have a faired so require the shorter chain chain IIRC)
108 links?

thanks, it would be from a 1999 curvy faired, to fit my k3 so that should be fine then.

thanks

Yeah it should be (unless someone's messed with the sprocket sizes on yours) - just count the links and you could count your sprocket teeth too I THINK standard gearing is fifteen teeth on the front sprocket and 45 on the rear.
Is it a second hand chain? check it thoroughly if so!

Curvy and pointy are the same:

Naked 15F, 45R, 110 links
Faired 15F, 44R, 108 links
