How was your experience with it?
It was a replacement from OEM Chain, but the noise when driving was dramatically reduced, smoothness at startup, throttle response, and ease of entry into the gear were improved, and above all, I was surprised that there was little resistance and no unnecessary deceleration when the Axel was off at idle speed.
[Included Parts:were they on?

There are many ChainManufacturers, but I don't know what the differences are between them. I decided on the price and delivery time after comparing with DID, but I would like to know if there is any definite difference between them.

Black gold is cool.
I have been using NORMALSpec. (made by DID) for many years, and the Chain has been extended, and I was concerned about the noise of clattering interference at low speeds, so I took the plunge and purchased this product.
I was told by the motorcycle shop that the Large was still strong, but I felt discomfort when changing gears or putting in Neutral, and after this replacement, I am satisfied with the Large change as it returns to GEAR operation as it was when the car was new. I think the fact that I also replaced the front and rear Sprocket at the same time also had an effect.
I was not sure about DIDChain, but I chose RKChain, and instead of Gold, I chose Pin-only GoldSpec. with Black base color. As a result, I am personally satisfied with the large size. I am personally satisfied with Large. I have not done that much mileage yet, so I'll give it a 3 for durability.

It looks super cool and slick.
I had never been this proud of my chain purchase before. It looks better than the gold and of course the silver. Its marked as the best rk chain in the market and i am about to test it out. Otherwise, it looks appealing. View detail
That's good.
Black Plate with Gold Pin and Roller is not too flashy and not too plain!
The movement is now Smooth and I'm happy with the Large change!

It will be Gorgeous!
It looks better and I have no complaints about the quality and functionality.
The electroplated Coat in Jet Black and Gold looks very Gorgeous.
It is highly customizable. Since it is made by a first-class manufacturer, it is resistant to rust and highly durable.

Cool and long lasting
Installed on Initial ModelGSX1300R HAYABUSA
RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating MODEL is claimed to have surface treatment on all Product Contents that touch the Large on the ManufacturerHP, so I think that RK's X-XWSeries electrodeposition coating I believe that the color is the strongest.
In fact, I've used it for about 30000km at this point, and although there are parts where the black paint has faded a little due to frequent cleaning of the chain, I can't see any rust and it still looks good.
The Gold Chain is also good, but if you combine it with the Aluminum Sprocket, you will notice the difference in color of the Gold.
In this respect, BlackChain is a good fit.
I left the installation to Dealer.
It costs quite a lot of money, but it is a very difficult job to do by yourself.
Since a mistake in the drive system can directly affect your life, we strongly recommend that you study the contents carefully and have an experienced person present when you do it yourself.
It may be cheaper to buy them through mail order and take them to a motorcycle shop, even if you have to pay a little extra for the work.
Also, it is not limited to this Chain, but when it is new, Grease is applied like an enemy of the parent, so if you leave it as it is, Grease will fly furiously for a while.
It is recommended to clean it with Chain cleaner immediately after assembly.
(This is not the case if you are using a high viscosity lube that is ready to splatter.)
