Slapped together for the 2022 Buffalo rally.
Bike ran flawless.
Drew a lot of comments.
Still the **** dont sit well with me.
Been thinking of putting a Buell or Ducati 996 tailpiece on.
Dunno.

Any name brand x or o ring chain will work just fine. I definitely wouldn’t recommend a 630.
I agree, my old Laverda 1200 had a 630 chain as stock fitment, it was huge and very heavy.

My Benelli 900 Sei had a duplex chain as stock fitment, I thought it was a bit "overkill" for a machine producing 80 hp, so I changed the chain and sprockets for 530 simplex items.

As far as I'm aware the Benelli 900 Sei was the only production motorcycle with a duplex final drive chain as stock fitment.
