Hi All,
Over the years I have not kept up to date on chain technology.When restoring I just ordered chain and sprockets from DS.I have noticed in less than 600 kilometres it has already tight spots and is stretching like an elastic band especially after a screaming time.Your recommendations are needed.Make type etc.Would not like it to snap on me.
Many Thanks
Bitsa

Bryanj:
The 750 will happily handle an "O" ring chain, unlike the 500, so any decent name 530 HD"O" ring chain should be good.

Hi Bitsa
I have a DID O ring chain and have done nearly 1500 miles on it and have not had to adjust or oil it yet  :)  and anyone that has seen me going up and down the A12 & A14 will know I don't hang around. X ring chains are even better I never had to oil the chain on the Triumph  and that lasted 13000 miles the chain was still fine but the sprockets were totally shot

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Thanks Bryan,Green1.
Will this chain you are recommending be ok with the sprockets DS supplied or should I just get as seen on bay the full kit?
DID Oring kit.
Cheers
Again
Bitsa

I tend to buy them as a kit they normally come with JT front sprockets and cheap steel rear sprockets.Busters quite often do good deals
