What chain and why?

Now for my question, how many 530 links does it take to replace 96 630 links?

Believe I saw on the DennisKirk website that you should take the number of 630 links times 1.2 to get the equal length 530 chain.

96 links of #630 chain ......pin to pin, the pitch is .75 inches, so .75 x 96 says the chain is 72 inches long. #530 chain has a pitch of 5/8ths (.625)
72 inches divided by .625 equals 115 links in #530 chain. This will not be exact because of possible sprocket combinations, but it may be close enough.

You can tell a chain is 630 because it is gigantic compared to any other chain you look at. Also, I bought a non-orin 530 chain and it lasted about 5000 miles on my 400 because I didn't swap out sprockets.

Now for my question, how many 530 links does it take to replace 96 630 links?

What do you guys think about 520 chain conversions? I found this link and it shows the GSXR Hap referred to.
