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

In the 80's a bike test was ride up and down a road on your bike and you passed, probably with a fag in your gob at the same time!  mokin

My brother passed his bike test on the day of his 17th birthday in 1980, and because he left school at 14 and went to work with my dad he'd saved up enough money to buy a Honda CBX1000 that was waiting at home for him!!
And at 18yrs old he part ex'ed it for a Kawasaki Z1300  :eek
Those were the days.......
