With a change to -1/+2 you can use the same length chain. The factory chain is a DID with is a decent chain. Just make sure you stay with a 520 chain.

same length? interesting. do u know what the stock length is?

Take off the stock chain and put the next chain next to each other link for link and you should be able to cut it size. Maybe 120 links max and then cut from there
