Hi Patrick thanks for the treatise on chains - ha ha !
I think I'm going to keep the 530 even though it's overkill , then I can always use 5/8 x 3/8 agricultural chain if I'm in a bind .
My bike never goes to a bike shop for work btw and I think I know how to rivet a chain ,been doing it on agricultural machines for a decade or two .They [ rivets] are much stronger than clip master links and I've seen a few of those break dramatically .
TX650 s [ and XS1 ,XS650] are the vertical twin Yams that were used by sidecar motocrossers and flat trackers ,53 hp stock in stock form and can be bored out to 700,750,840 and 1000 cc with horsepowers to match .A very strong engine .
When do I leave ? Tomorrow if I could !
