I believe that Brian King uses one piece chains and recommends to his customers that they acquire the tool (rivet master?).

I looked at the Rorty in my garage that I'm working on and this discussion ultimately should help with my project to repower from CBR1000 to a Hayabusa.

Part of the project includes lowering the RPM an inch or so and tilting it back to get a longer chain. Right now it has 24 links and that seems about 10 or 15 links short. The chain seems to not ride perfectly centered on the RPM sprocket so I'm curious to know if yours rides perfectly centered or has a slight, unavoidable favor to one side or the other.
