    OK so i have a quick question. I couldnt find it on the site so if it has been answered please just post a link. I have a 5th gen and I want a yellow chain but all i could find is a 110 chain. Could I just take out 2 links to make it a 108? if not where could i find a sprocket that would work? Thanks!

    Not a problem to take out links at all. And cheaper than adding a new sprocket. If you don't have a chain breaker just grind off the heads of the rivets and knock out the links with a hammer and punch. Easy peasy.

    Yeah, just remove links. If you don't have a chain tool, get one. You can get them off ebay cheap. Get the DID clone. It should be roughly $50 it breaks and rivets chains. It makes the job fast and easy.
