http://fasteddysports.com/, or your dealer, or at ANY motorcycle dealer. It's just standard 525 chain. You'll need 112 links.

You are going to replace at least the front sprocket when you rivet on the new chain?

As a Dinosaur,I'm really impressed with the X ring chain on our bikes.I've never owned a bike that DOESN'T need adjusting as the America with X-link.I've had standard, and o ring chains before but the X is the best.
+ another 1 on doing chain and sprockets together.
