I always use DID chains on every bike.

I take it by "Black Beauty" you mean the Tenere? It has OTR 525 steel sprockets and an endless DID X-ring chain.

The BSA A65 (also a "black beauty") runs a 530 DID O-ring chain with a split link and English made unbranded steel sprockets from Burton Bike Bits. The Triumph has aluminium Rickman supplied sprockets and will also have a 530 DID O-ring chain with split link (when I get round to finishing building it!)

As I said before, never had any bother with split links and I've done a lot of miles with them over the years.
