Good deal on a chain?

I found this on ebay, looks like a good deal. Is 120 long enough for a stretched kz?

That is a non "O" ring chain. My bike is streached maybe 4.5 inches and 106 will do it.

I think mine cost about $90.00 from Z1enterprises and it is a "O" ring chain. Roy

Stick with Z1, you don't want ebay rejects for your chain. The chain I got at Z1 was an "X" ring which is better than an O ring and it was maybe $85. I looked everywhere and nobody can beat that.

Zup... Z1 no doubt.... Due to my stretched conversion, 630 O-ring 110 link chain for ~ $100.... Best pricing I've found as well...

I lightly lube my chain weekly so O-ring is fine, has been for 30 years... ;)

"Is 120 long enough for a stretched kz?"... Yup, should be more than enough... Of course depending on your stretch and sprocket sizes, you'll most likely have to remove a couple of links...

That's a 530 chain, is that your setup....

that chain your looking at is a great price for that chain but if your putting it on street bike don't it is a drag race only it won't last on the street it is very strong but it has virtually no wear index it cant take the abuse the street would put on it. it would wear out almost imeditly. for a street bike the ek630 ms chain is the same made for the shock of major impacts that drag racing has but not built for every day use i know i have tried to use one i had laying around it didn't get 3000 miles on it before it was completely worn out. try to find a decent quality o-ring or x-ring chain you will be alot happier. that being said i use that chain your looking at on my big drag bike and it has held up well and i'm impressed by how power it stand up to nice chain if your dragracing.

Cool, well I'll check out Z1's site. The bike is eventually going to see street and drag strip time, I may just buy a setup to swap out when I go to the track so I don't put undue stress on my street set. Thanks Roy and timebomb
