Default Chain info

I am trying to find outinfo on my chain, (like material, O-ring). I called the guy I bought it from and he said that he took the stock chain off the day he bought the bike and put this one on. It is a heavy duty chain and he said it was very expensive even back then.
That is about all he could remember since it was so long ago. He also had to replace the sprocket and chain drive to fit the chain because it had larger links. The links have RK50S0 on them. I have searched the internet and found RK chains, but no site had this particular part number. Maybe because it is 23 years old. I also contacted one RK site by email asking for info, but have not got any response back.

Here is a link to sizes, As far as if it is an O-ring chain, just look, you will see the o-rings. Most older Harley chains are not o-ring chains.
