I just completed putting the Avon Azaro tires recommended by Ducati Germany on my bike. I now need to lengthen my chain by one link. I have 2 master links but a desperately need the inside or roller link portion on the chain to make this work. My chain is a DID 520 Xring. Does anyone out there have, or know where to get a roller link for a 520?

This is compounded by the fact that I bought a longer chain when I replaced it last year. The extra links found their way to the trash can. I am so bummed that I did not keep them.

Anyway, any suggestions or help in appreciated.


Photos to come.

The motorcycle super store can sell you a link and the tool to rivot it in
about 10usd for the link and 100 for the tool
Maybe a local shop has the tool and will do the link for you.

I have a couple breakers / rivet tools. I looked my motorcycle super store and see only master links (pins only), I have not seen any internal or roller links. In a gold chain, the gold is the outer pieces or sides, the internal pieces or roller links are typically black and are the pieces that I need. I have additional master links, but can not put 2 of them together without the internal piece.

I hope this is clear.

If it is a half link you need try Tsubaki or a local industrial chain supply house like McMaster Carr.
You may also ask around your local dirt bike shop

or here

3.95 each

I already have a master link and I do not need a half link. I need the center roller section of the chain, not the sideplate. Looks like I'll have to buy a DID roller chain and break it to get a roller link in order to put 2 master links together.

Let me ask this another way. Does anyone out there have any short pieces of DID 520 Xring chain laying around that you could part with. I only need 2 links, I am not interested in master links or half links, I am looking for a couple links that have been cut from a chain to shorten it.

Any, and all help is GREATLY appreciated.
