i have done 3 chains with the cheap kit they sell on ebay; no problems. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOTORCYCLE-CHAIN-CUTTER-BREAKER-RIVETING-RIVET-TOOL-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem255b99a300QQitemZ160450585344QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories another option would be to install it with a clip link then ride it down to a shop and have them install the rivet master link
a big c clamp also works, tighten it down half way put some rim protectors on and go drink a beer. by the time you come back the bead will be loose. if not just nudge it a bit with a tire iron.

they repaved 180 about 12 days a go. They might have been painting edge lines on the road, it was clear to ride last week. They also had sweeper trucks on 374 last week so it is gtg
Having owned all but Kawasaki; i would rank Honda 1st and Suzuki 3rd. this is based purely on performance, i could give a shit how cool i look riding it. And on a squidliness level, if you ride a sport bike (crotch rocket) then you are a squid .
