Hi Jeff, 
That is helpful. I will check them out. 

I have a started communicating with someone at Supersprox. If I get somewhere with them I’ll report back.

They're out of California and provided an easy to use site & great service at good prices, start at $163/kit, with several choices of chain quality and sprocket sizes. I've become accustomed to endless chains which they don't offer so I purchased a small tool to press the master link plate eliminating the clip. I've became accustomed to pulling the swingarm for re-chaining enabling a thorough cleaning and inspecting the bearings. On my original Transalp of 55k mostly commuting miles I would need a new after 10,000 miles of every day hard riding regardless of  weather and our dirt roads,put up wet, which most likely shortened the chains life. All were DID's, endless sealed o-ring except one standard chain which wore out within 5,000 miles, at 1/2 the price thru Honda dealer at the time, and the second TA had a new gold plated chain which I thought enhanced the wear factor but most likely just looked nicer. At this time of chain change I went with the original specs as always, (almost chose to increase rear sprocket 2 teeth for more off road grunt) except choose Gold finish and will try to keep it cleaner and go for 20,000 miles as they claim is possible.  Hope this helps. Happy wrenching, Jeff
