I want to fit a 530 O or X ring chain to my UK 72 750K2.
When it was re-built it was fitted with new sprockets and a Std HD chain. The bike has now done 4K miles so the sprockets are OK.
However, despite correct alignment, adjustment and regular lubrication the chain has had it with tight spots and needing adjusting more or less after every ride. The bike is generally run around 55 mph so it is not abused, but 4k, to me, is poor for a chain.
I have several bikes but still do around 3K on the K2 in a year, so I want to fit a 530 O or X ring chain.
With my other Jap bike I have done this with it is usually just a question of spacing the gearbox sprocket a bit so that it will clear the casings due to the wider pitch but on the Honda that is not possible.
So my question is can anybody advise a 530 O or X ring chain that can/will fit directly with the exiting sprockets but does not foul or damage the engine casings? I also plan to use a split link.
Thanks
Andy
