best chain to use?

[edstar78]

I have done a search on this subject, just wondering what you folks use for chains. I have a 88 gsxr 750 and am thinking of getting the o ring RK chain. 530- 110 links (standard for a 15/45 sprocket bike i think.

A 530 will give you long life. 520 is lighter guage and therefore not as strong (for clutch wheelies etc.) and will wear out quicker and take your sprockets with it. In case you weren't aware.
530 is the norm and 520 is for the race-track, I reckons. :D

how many links would be big enough?

How long is a piece of string? :D
That's bike dependent and sprocket/gearing dependent. If you buy the chain in it's box brand new, it'll have more than enough links. You'll have to break it to fit ie. cut off excess.

Twice the length from the middle to the end!
