415 motorcycle chain

mikemarley · Jun 26, 2015

so to those interested ive found a company that makes 415 heavy duty chain. its called ssrt and ill post a pic of the box here shortly, it comes as 120 link and its gold with silver pins

ive also found a 2nd company named sss that comes as a 96 link and is gunmetal grey, its just as good. t

price is important here, and 100 foot roll is usually cheaper

also, built several bikes that 96 wouldn't be long enough

KMC has been making 415H chain for several decades. Most commonly used on industrial tricycles in large factories.

I use this (2 sets): http://www.amazon.com/KMC-415H-3-16-Black/dp/B002DMWEAM/
415H master: http://www.amazon.com/KMC-415H-Connecting-CH4100-Chain/dp/B001CK0FMU/
415H half link: http://www.amazon.com/KMC-415H-Half-Single-Black/dp/B00BZZD5LA/

if price was an issue then a hundred foot would still cost more, not to mention shipping..... im just putting another few sources to get nice 415 chains for those that dont want industrial roller link chain

most bikes I build (freewheel cruisers) take between 102 & 106 links - those 96 & 98 chains mentioned won't work

I use 3 or 4 a month & sell another 6 to 8 - when I can get a 100 foot roll, it doesn't last long & cuts price per chain almost in half.

do you use tensioners as well? i can get by with 96 on a short frame, as i never use tensioners. my skyhawk needed the 120 link chain though. another benefit is these chains come with a master link

once again i know it isnt the cheapest, and you only get 1 chain, but the thickness of the links and the gold chain itself are worth it to me. most people dont do 50 on these bikes like me though. it takes a certain crazy lol
pretty soon my bike will do 70 mph, im just not comfortable with kmc, its all about peace of mind to me.

Isn't the 415H a bit heavier chain? And can it cause problems in a HT 2 stroke?

The_Aleman · Jun 27, 2015

Yes, 415H is significantly thicker than standard 415. It would take some work to fit in the average chinagirl.
Some chinagirls don't even like regular 415, some need grinding work just for that. Some kits have come with 410 instead.
And really, 415 is overkill. A high-quality chain like KMC Z410 is plenty, as long as the chain run is perfectly straight.

I don't think OP was talking about a chinagirl, tho, was he? After all, he used the words "70 MPH" and "peace of mind".
No one who is truly wise would use those words when thinking about a chinagirl. It's an oxymoron.

Or a pun, depending on how you look at it.
