not bad, was dreading having to pay for a riveter when i need to do my chain, didn't need one before as the 125 used a split link chain

I bough a £20 chain tool off eBay, works really well.

Unless you had the parts required, I don't think you could buy all that for under a tenner in this country. I don't think the £5 saving would be worth it.
