Default Drive Chain

Getting closer to getting the 69 XLCH restoration done. It needs a new chain. I need advice on which type of chain to get. What manufacturer, O ring?, etc., etc. Thanks for any advice.

If you want it to be period-correct, a Diamond heavy duty chain is a good one.

If you are not concerned about period correctness an x-ring chain is the best choice, IMO.

And regardless of chain type etc, use BelRay SuperClean chain lube [it is a chain wax]. BelRay has more than one chain lube so be sure the can says SuperClean on the label.
