Non O Ring Chain
I need a new chain for the 750GT and it's a 530.
There may be a clearance issue with an o ring chain and I've decided to go non O Ring. It's been 30 some years since I ran a non O ring. What's the best one?
This is probably going to be like an oil thread if anyone answers.

couple of my bikes have a 530 chain and I found out that the price of the same 525 chain is almost half of 530, probably due to popularity, tried to convert both bikes but got wrong sprockets and gave up. I did bite a bullet and used the o-ring chain, IIRC ended up paying about buck-fitty for a chain.
The one comparable to the one I bought for the Duc was two-fitty, some fancy X or W ring chain
I made my comparison using the chart in Tucker Rock catalog, it as wear index listed for every chain, I can take a look tomorrow...
what's the 750GT, the Water Buffalo?

Ducati round case bevel head 750GT.
the bike was original with the non O ring 530, O ring 530 is wider by a good bit than non O ring. Which will put it pretty close, closer than I'd like to
the inner side of the case. So, was wondering if anyone had a good non O ring chain to suggest.
