Chain kit

I am clueless to what brand of chain kit to get. I know I wanna get a -1 +2 setup but I am not sure what brand to get. Motomummy has 3 brands. Drive, Driven and Vortex. What brand is best? Also what chain RK or EK? I wanna get a green chain for sure. Thanks

There is no BEST brand, but anything you get from motomummy will be good quality. Im running driven sprockets with EK chain (-1/+2) . No complains here

I recommend Vortex with RK. I have used these with no issues.

It could be more people order RK so they up the price or there overstocked on EK's and hope you buy the cheaper one idk haha there both Great chains you cant go wrong with either one.

Thanks! I've been looking too. That's a good deal so I got a set. $150 for me though + $14 shipping but still a good deal. If it works out well I'll get another set for my 2nd bike.
