chain rivet

[Thorn]

What's the consensus on clip type master links?

Perfectly fine as long as you install the clip the correct way around. Split links were commonly used in the 80s on 1000cc machines putting out 130+bhp with no issue, then the mid 90s came along and it was absolute taboo for some reason! Everyone's heard a story about it, but I've never met anybody that's experienced a splt-link failure on a large machine.

But it's rather irrelevent anyway, because most chains tend to come with a rivet link these days
