Have had good experience with them from Chain Gang which is just across the road from me. Only problem was I said I needed a chain for a 650cc m/xer and he sold me the biggest thing he had in the right size which fitted a new 1200 and it was way too heavy.

Always liked the Renthal chains after they came out, but had an RK 520 non or-mg on my old 77 440 Maico-and it lasted well.
