EK Motorcycle Chain?

[18Bravo]

For '79 CB750L

It appears to be non O ring. Anyone know if it's any good?  Quick search yielded O ring for twenty dollars less. (but it's gold) I always assumed O ring chain was better.

EK makes nice chains. I had an EK on my '76F, my '74 chopper and on my current '80F. I just got another one for my '78K I'm putting together. All o-rings since I travel a bunch of dirt and gravel roads. I get the 9,000+ tensile ratings. They never stretch at all. Even at initial installation.

BikeMaster brands chains are almost always EK's (there's another brand they are also repackaging as 'their' chains, can't remember the brand). That's how I've been buying mine. Usually about $60-70 depending on the length.

I would not waste my money on a non O-ring chain.

So three of us are in agreement that O ring is the way to go, yet I still can't be sure if this EK chain is O ring or not.  There's nothing on the box or in the listing itself to indicate that it is.

It's listed as a 'standard' chain. My opinion is that it is not an o-ring chain.

Have you considered going to a 530 setup? So much lighter.
