Slightly premature I suspect. It's only 7/8ths done yet.

Ah. I'm not sure I will ever attempt a chain job on anything that can't
be run with just a split link. I'll probably throw the Voxan at Magnum
when that eventually needs doing.

I've got a very effective tool for splitting chain, but it hasn't got a
riveting mode.

Anything can be run with a split link surely?
Bikes were hitting 180mph at Bonneville in 1967 and I dont think
endless chains came in till the 80's?
