[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 25834, member: 161"] Dear Eric, This is not a direct answer to your "O" ring chain query as I am first asking you some questions. [LIST=1] [*] Why do you need to replace the new stock chain? [*]What are your reasons for wanting to fit an "O" ring chain? [/LIST] I understand that an "O" ring chain does have some benefits as I have one fitted to my Ducati where it was installed without modification. My understanding is that to fit an "O" ring chain to the Vincent the sprockets need to be thinned. Topically I bought a new Iwis 5/8 x 3/8 rear chain for my Rapide at the weekend. The Iwis chain I fitted in September '08 has done over 20,000 miles with only occasional adjustment and the filling of the Scott oiler reservoir. When the current chain is replaced the same make chain should hopefully give the same good service. [/QUOTE]
