Most of the sites i've seen have the chain priced around $90, but then i came across this : http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemBrowse/c-10111/s-10101/p-100000138274/mediaCode-ZX/appId-100000138274/Pr-p_CATENTRY_ID:100000138274

doesn't say if it's o-ring or x-ring or whatever else...  think this would be ok?  it is a 520 x 110.
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

I like a good deal too, but I would not buy a $20 chain.

The chain is an important peice of the motorcycle, dont go cheap.

Visit http://www.bbburma.net/ and click on "chains and sprockets".  Prices are a little old, but should give ideas.  You can probably get an O-ring for $50 (+s/h).  

With contstant care, (e.g., Scottoiler), you can probably get a no-ring chain to last more than half as long as an o-ring chain, in which case you will save up to $10 over 10k miles... not too much.
