Well, it's kind of a pain, but it's mostly the learning curve - now that I've pretty much done one set, I don't dread the next set. The real labor is removing...

I've seen where CZ chain is about the best there is, and that Bertus is where you get it - I've been trying to get in touch at (626) 330- 2326, but no luck....
CZ chain was a good thing 20 years ago . If you want the best chain run something like a RK 520 KZU with teflon seals. Regards Scott Wilson Pablos Motorcycles ...
Just checking Mike, and i know the Ohlins is rebuildable as long as my grinder can re-hard chrome and grind the the hollow 14mm shaft without any hitches....
Eric, Sounds like you have some rust on the shaft if you are considering having it re-chromed. You probably have seal head problems too(seal and bushing) if...

Tony, Good choice that CZ chain. The less expensive model is more than adaquate for racing. The reason Borg doesnt have it is because Bertus doesnt sell it to...
