We purchased a NOS cam chain from Silver parts
for our CL72.
The chain came in the original Honda packaging and was
not opened.
The chain does not have a master link in place, but
I see a master link is listed in the Honda Parts Guide and
many NOS ones are for sale on Ebay for around $9.
Why is the NOS chain I received solid ... without a Master link?
When installed, is it designed, to be hung around
the sprockets, without a master link?
Thanks for your help ....

Cam chainHere is my guess.
The CA/CB/CL 72/77 use the same pitch and length cam chain as the CB/CL/SL350, the CB750 SOHC and the XL250. The difference was the 250/305 chain used a master link and the other later models did not. The part number for the continuous chain is 14401-410-003 and I am pretty sure that is the one DSS sells. The original part number for the chain with master link chain is 14401-259-000. Part # = 14401-259-000 Part Description = CHAIN (DK219, 94L) - (replaces 14401-259-003) Model Count = 6 CA72 1961 250 Dream Touring 250 Street CA77 1961 305 Dream Touring 305 Street CB72 1961 250 Hawk 250 Street CB77 1961 205 Super Hawk 305 Street CL72 1962 250 Scrambler 250 Street CL77 1966 305 Scrambler 305 Street Part # = 14401-410-003 Part Description = CHAIN, CAM Model Count = 36 CB350 1968 350 Super Sport 350 Street CB350G 1973 350 Super Sport 350 Street CB350-K2 1970 350 Super Sport 350 Street CB350-K3 1971 350 Super Sport 350 Street CB350-K4 1972 350 Super Sport 350 Street CB750A-76 1976 750 CB750A Hondamatic Street CB750A-77 1977 750 CB750A Hondamatic Street CB750A-78 1978 750 CB750A Hondamatic Street CB750F-K5 1975 750 750 Super Sport Street CB750F-K6 1976 750 750 Super Sport Street CB750F-K7 1977 750 750 Super Sport Street CB750F-K8 1978 750 750 Super Sport Street CB750K 1969 750 750 Four Street CB750-K0 1970 750 750 Four Street CB750-K1 1971 750 750 Four Street CB750-K2 1972 750 750 Four Street CB750-K3 1973 750 750 Four Street CB750-K4 1974 750 750 Four Street CB750-K5 1975 750 750 Four Street CB750-K6 1976 750 750 Four Street CB750-K7 1977 750 750 Four Street CB750-K8 1978 750 750 Four Street CL350 1968 350 Scrambler 350 Dual Sport CL350-K2 1970 350 Scrambler 350 Dual Sport CL350-K3 1971 350 Scrambler 350 Dual Sport CL350-K4 1972 350 Scrambler 350 Dual Sport CL350-K5 1973 350 Scrambler 350 Dual Sport SL350 1970 350 Motosport 350 Dual Sport SL350-K1 1971 350 Motosport 350 Dual Sport SL350-K2 1972 350 Motosport 350 Dual Sport TL250 1975 250 TL250 Trials Off Road TL250-76 1976 250 TL250 Trials Off Road XL250 1972 250 XL250 Dual Sport XL250-76 1976 250 XL250 Dual Sport XL250-K1 1974 250 XL250 Dual Sport XL250-K2 1975 250 XL250 Dual Sport
