Chains without o-rings.

Back in the olden days I used to get 40,000+ miles out of stock chains using a consistent daily maintenance schedule. Today, it seems chains without o-rings are low quality or are built light for racing. Does anyone make a good standard chain without o-rings anymore?

I still see standard chains for sale on websites, but I haven't bought one in a decade or so. Personally, I get much better wear out of the O-rings on my bikes.
DID still makes a standard heavyweight (i.e. non-racing) chain in 525, 530, and 630 sizes. And they're pretty cheap too. Most places that sell chains, sell DID. Google "standard motorcycle chain" DID for online sellers.

I used DID years ago. They did good. However, I need a 428.
