What you have is a "rivet" style master link. There are special tools to lock the link by riveting it. You might do a search, I think I've seen peoples home made tools on the forum. I've seen the regular tool for around $80, might be something out there for less. The chains with the regular clip type master link are getting harder to find. Just getting the regular link may not work as sometimes the pin sizes and/or length are different.

I'd say that's the master link for the CB450, as mentioned in the Bill Silver HNRRG (pale blue) manual.hillhudson wrote:hey all i have been reading this thread a bit and i wanted to aska question, i recently received a high performance cam chain, but the master link is odd to me. here is a pic of the master link, can anyone tell me what the deal is, ? no clip? no grooves for the clip ?
