Violet Chains
So, this is not a purchase I'm considering in my immediate future I figured I might ping around and see if anyone can advise me -- I've seen some pictures of "EKChain" and one thing that's really cool is they will powder coat the chain. You can see an example in their catalog here at the bottom of page 2: http://www.ekchain.jp/product/pdf/cartalog_01.pdf
One thing I've noticed is EVERY picture of their colored chains has a purple/violet option, but nowhere I've seen them sold offers it in that color. Not just for the Ninja 250, but in any chain size. I'm slowly adding violet farkles to my bike, and would love to get a violet chain when the time comes so I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find them. Obviously I could get them powder coated myself, and I have no idea how good a name brand EK is -- I'd definitely rather a good chain than a pretty one. But best of all would be good and pretty ^.^ |

Be sure to get a high quality chain, it will be worth it in the long run.
I've gone through lower quality chains in like 4000 miles. where as i've heard people lasting 20,000 on high quality chains.

EK coloured chains are the go mate, nice and strong. ive done 12000ks on mine on the gt650 and its still going strong. theyre pricey, but worth it.
