Why 120 links?
Stock is 103 + join link...........Should be able to get one anywhere...

If your buying a new chain, you really need new sprockets also........Old sprockets will take a lot of life out of your new chain...........

aybe change to 520 while your at it.........Give the old girl a break!

ordered new sprockets already. 32 in the back 18 in the front. i just made it into a hardtail and there is a stretch on it...so i need a lengthy chain to then reduce in size. it will be somewhere between 110 and 120 links. so thats why. now where can i get one. one of the only things i have left to do....

I just checked my J&P Catalog, they sell chains up to 120 links in there.

You can also go to eBay and buy a 530 in 120 links, or go to bikebandit, or any of the other bike sites.

I just picked up a 530/120 at a local yamaha dealership yesterday! $40
Got rid of 5 links so it would fit properly. Sorry can't think of the manufacturer's name right now.

I can remember going into the shops, and they would have a large roll of chain. They would sell you just how much you needed.
