So...this guy says I don't know what Im Talking about. He says diamond chains are made in India. JP Cycle says PROUDLY MADE IN THE UNITED STATES and if you pull up a diamond chain and scroll down on the description, that's what it says

This is the eBay listing from the guy who says diamonds are made in India. So which is it?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/122369636933

 

diamond primary chains are made in the USA

the cheap rear chain that also doubles a conveyor belt chain might be made in india never bought on of those 9 dollar chains see them in sales adds but never bought one for the shop to sell

 

Dude don't buy that **** it'll be trash in a month, your going to go that route just find a tractor supply and buy a 50 foot roll of 530 so you can at least cut a new one when you need it in a few weeks .

Find an o-ring chain, it will last longer,you won't be a adjusting every other day, bike won't vibrate as bad and the sprockets will last longer.

 

But it's made of great quality!!! Most of them are made of steel

 

Damn, I missed that! Shoulda bought it.

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. I want to keep as much import garbage off my bike as possible. Far as I can tell, diamond is USA made. That's what I'll go with. I'll spend $100 to save a blown out case from a thrown chain.

The thing that pisses me off is this guy swore up and down diamond is made in India and we were all idiots because all JP Cycle and some other reputable dealers do is just switch boxes to say MADE IN USE. I don't think you could get away with that.

Anyway...I contacted Diamond and sent them the eBay listing. We'll see what diamond says.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm going with. My current chain has 3/4 inch of stretch in it. Manual says toss when it's an inch. Might just get a new one to be safe. I threw a chain on a hot-rod sportster once and it was ugly.

I bought an RK O-ring chain from sippers and can't believe how it stretched. So much (adjust 6 times in 2500 miles) that it wore into the upper chain guard on my Baker Drivetrain SBD primary belt drive. I wish there was a chain out there that can live up to it's claim..... I believe the chain I have was rated for 10,600 lbs...

 

Well, in a weird sort of way I guess everybody's right.

Spoke to a really nice lady at diamond chain company today who's hubby has a Harley, and she set me straight on everything.

Dimond does ownfactories overseas where they manufacture a cheaper grade of chain. Some of those chains are stamped with the diamond logo and some are not. Those chains are marketed under Diamond sapphire. And most of those are made in India.

Dimond also has a factory in Indianapolis Indiana where they manufacture chain right here in the good old United States of America. Those are hi grade chains and she said their O-ring chain is the best out there.

I'm generally found you get what you pay for.
