Guys,
What chain are you guys running on the 1000F ? I have to get a new one and sprockets for my Blackbird and was considering doing the F as well as I don't know how old the chain is and how many km its done. I'm getting one of the DID 530VM Gold chains for the BB and will probably get the same for the 1000F. Was just wondering what you guys have and if I can get away with a cheaper chain ( without being a tight a$se ) I will. Cheers.

 

That is what I am running, you can't go wrong doing it. I would not try to go cheap... Just saying..

 

I agree 100 % there Doug. I was always going to run DID but there are so many different models and different prices. I ended up getting a 530VM Gold for the BB on fleabay just now for a $156 AUD which was good. Will do the same for the F shortly. I did a heap of shopping around and amazingly enough a guy here in Oz was the cheapest, which is rarely the case for bike stuff sold here. Cheers.

 

im running an RK 530 gold chain. honestly i think the quality is up there with DID and they arent nearly as expensive. got it on ebay for just over $100 to my door.

 

Right on the Bulls Eye there Bordo the best chain imo

 

100% XSO Gold FTW!

 

Ya know there's some 50 buck oring gold chains out there on the bay atm from D2Moto, thinking of trying one out for the hell of it !

 

DID 530VM Gold chain
I think I have AFAM sprockets atm
Don't stint on your chain, ever !

 

Um yeah you know you are right Pete , scratch the cheap chain idea .

BUT

Did grab a set of brand spank me new AFAM's last week for 20$ total + 10 ship

 

That's the beautiful part about RK, imo. Certainly not a "skimp", yet generally 1/3 less than DID.
And sprock, I saw those afams (ebay kit w/out chain?). Almost picked them up a while back.
