So yesterday I was getting my gear on and warming up the bike for my 45 mile commute back home from work.
Went through my saftey walk-around and looked at my chain. Good thing i did cause I noticed that my clip-on for the master link was MISSING!
WTF???
Have NO idea how it came off and when.
Thank my lucky stars there was a Honda dealer ship down the road from my offices. They had a replacement link/clip that I put on to get her back home and held up just fine.
That being said, I ordered a rivet-style master link for the Regina gold chain I have. Yes one came with the chain/sprocket kit I put on this past winter but don't have the press tool to install it.
So as soon as the rivet one arrives, I am heading to the shop to have them press it on as they said they'd charge me like $15.
And yes, I put on the original clip-style the correct way.
In short, lesson learned. If you have the option of a rivet master link...USE IT.
