Mark,
Thanks for the advice. I haven't bought a chain in more than 5 years, and when I started shopping at reputable (?) sources, I found prices from $100 to $150. I was flabbergasted! Even factoring in Bidenomics, they shouldn't be that expensive. So I thought I'd ask the experts.
Turns out the high-priced ones are USA-made, while the India-made Diamond chains are inexpensive. If I had a 110-inch stroker, I'd probably opt for the high-priced spread, but my best guess (and yours apparently) is that for a standard K or XL, the India-made are just fine.
BMI Karts has a great selection of interesting stuff. But they wanted $13 shipping, and I found an eBay seller who offered them for $19.95 and FREE shipping. I grabbed two of them. I'm gonna go back and examine the BMI Karts more thoroughly - cool stuff on there.
So the KH will be back on the road tomorrow. The 2nd chain is for the 1962 XLCH which has finally started undergoing a long, slow restoration - it also takes 100 links.
You guys going to Upperco in October? I'm in the covered "shed" building next to the main building.
Dave
