Need to break this 520 chain and re-make it with a new master link. I am going to shorten the bike back to stock now...

Anyone want to help me out? I can even bring a stand to where your at, and do it all in your drive way if you'd like!

all you need to do is use a dremel to cut the links apart and take out how ever many you need..then buy a clip link and just clip it back together...rivet links suck cause once its on..the chain cant come off unless you cut it
and i run clip links and ive never had one come apart on me..and ive got a pretty long chain

clips aren't bad, just make sure its turned the right way and put some silicone on it to keep it from vibrating off.

Just use your massive arms to tear the chain apart, and then re-assemble with a master link.

I prefer to rivet them for piece of mind, but I had a siliconed master link on my F3 back in the day with no problems for atleast 15K miles or so.
