New sprockets too? You should change them as a set

Yeah...if you don't change them as a set, you'll end up replacing all of it again soon. If the chain doesn't have a master link that automatically fits your spacing, you'll have to have a chain breaker. I'm sure someone down there in the Springs has one.

I'll be free Friday afternoon/evening if you still need help...though I don't have a chain breaker, I'm sure we can cut that sucker off. Since you can't get around, maybe someone here on the board would allow me to borrow a chain breaker to take over there?....anyone?

I have a dremel to grind the rivet heads off. I also have the tools to push the rivets and reset the new rivets back on. I also have a electric 1/2" inpact gun with various sockets. Does anyone have repair manual for the bike so that we can get the torque number for the various fasteners?

i would like to get the nut bolt thing u were talkin about instead of clip on. So far everything seems good.

What you are looking for is called a "riveted master link" Most shops should have them. You just need to know the brand and type of chain you have.

Best!
