CB360 - new drive chain. Will it fit?

[thrillseeker]

I bought a new drive chain for my CB360 and it is wider outside to outside than the stock chain by a few milimeters. How do I know if the chain is too wide? the motor still isnt in the frame yet so I cant just hook it up to see if it rubs against anything. I could, however, test fit it on the drive sprocket or the wheel sprocket independently. My question is, if it IS too wide, what part should I check clearances on? Or has anyone else used this same chain on a cb360 with success or failure? I did a good bit of searching and didnt find anything specific to this scenario. The only thing I found is that o-ring chains don't fit. But I don't have a lot of experience with different chains so I'm not sure how much wider an o-ring chain is compared to stock or compared to the chain I bought.

The chain I bought: http://4into1.com/wps-heavy-duty-gold-motorcycle-chain-530/

Thanks.

Well, I got the motor in so I was able to test fit the chain today. I'm happy to say it fits. Woot!

Now put the sprocket cover on get the rear tire off the ground and slowly rotate the back wheel. Make SURE the chain is not rubbing on the clutch actuator arm or else it will tear it up and leave you without a clutch.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll definitely do that. Maybe I can get a flashlight and peek in the back of the cover to see how much clearance there is.

That seems to be a standard, heavy duty 530 chain. That chain shouldn't be an issue, but it's always good to check before riding with any new, aftermarket parts.
