todd, you wouldn't be able to sell the DID chain install/remove kit would you?
similar to what motion pro sells:
for what motion pro charges, it's pretty crappy. pot metal suxors

even after grinding down the peened rivets and putting the breaker pin in straight, it still breaks. also the riveter backing plate cracked in half installing a chain.

i saw a pic of the metal box (already a plus) for a DID chain tool on ebay once. i think it sold for maybe $150 for the tool. then again, it's ebay. so i know DID makes 1. but are we able to get it?

Todd, sorry to give you another question, but do you also apply this discount to o-ring chains?

I think KowaTools makes a chain tool kit too :confused
same folks that make the Handy Stands and other fine products

OK, I'm gonna' admit total ignorance. I just purchased a VFR400R NC24. This is my second motorcycle but the first one with a chain. I'm hoping that since you are selling chains that you have some expertise. How many miles given normal (not totally ignored and not anal) care should a chain last? I'm sure that this varies but a ballpark is good. How should I check it? My plans at this point are short local rides in the twisties. No track time. No cross country jaunts. What kind of chain should I have? Are the chains that you are advertising primarily for normal use or for racing? Recommendations? I just bought the bike and need to go to the store to buy lube. I kind of figured clean with WD40 and a rag and then lube with..?? Any good recommendations for lube? Thanks for your help.

chain wax. it's a spray on, and makes ur chain feel like a candle. Doesn't fling either, once it's set.
On another note, Todd is an awesome person to deal with. takes care of his costumers and keeps very good communication. can't wait til my parts get here.

SHIN - It's 525x108 and 16/45 for that year.
MACKEY - Yes, we sell the "MP Riveting Kit" on our site. It's very popular.
EVOLUTION 247 - There's not really a big margin on tires, but I'm willing to put something together. Email me to arrange a group price.
ALL - BARF is the only place I've heard any negative feedback about MP tools. We've sold hundreds of their mini breakers and mini presses and several dozen of the full riveting kits with zero negative feedback. Possible that a couple of you just are unlucky?
BLAZIN R1 - No. The VM chains just have gold side plates. Only the ERV2 race chains are gold plated for lower friction.
JNGLSTTICAL - Yes, I'd hook you up a deal on the Pro-V O-Ring chains as well.
JCMJRT - A good X-ring chain will get many folks 15,000 miles or better. It ALL depends on how well you maintain it. There are dozens of good threads on BARF that will help you with chain maintenance. An O-Ring chain is a good thing compared to a non-sealed chain. An X-Ring chain is a step up with a longer wear rating. A common race chain is the DID 520ERV2. I like the Maxima chain wax...but every has their own opinions.
IXRACEX4XPHO: Thanks for the compliment. I concur. Chain was is a good choice. Something to remind folks is to HEAT UP the chain first since you want to apply the wax to a warm chain, then as the chain cools the wax "sets" and will protect better. Good call!
EAST BAY DAVE: Correct. $99 for the 530VM. It comes with a rivet link standard.
MODERATOR: Any chance y'all can stick this thread since I'm willing to do a long term special for BARFers?

520x120: Retail $82, Special $59

Hey jcmjrt!
It was great talking with you on the phone today. I asked AFAM about sprockets for your bike and we had no luck. Can you confirm if your bike has the single sided swingarm?
Anyhow, they suggested that you grab stuff from Japan since the NC30/35 seem to be what people over here MAY have available, but not apparently for the NC24.

For the 520x110 Pro-V, your cost is $54. You can order this at http://www.calsportbike.com/order/
Sorry if my using two different screen names got confusing on this thread....I normally use TrackTime to deal with track days and CalSportbike for my shop, but with the cookie issue I sometimes have problems keeping my crap straight.
