Default C5R timing chain vs JWIS

Are these single chains the same? If not, is one better than the other. They seem to be priced comparably.

I thought Jwis made the c5r timing chain. I believe they are the same.

Jwis makes the c5r chain, and the rollmaster double chain.

Ok.. so 2 votes that JWIS makes the C5 chain.. cool. However, the Rollmaster double setup i bought from Scogin dickey a while back was the ROLON chain. I guess they have two lines.. the blue dot and the red dot.. one is more expensive and supposedly has the JWIS chain. However, no one in the US seems to have one at this time. I'm trying to figure out if the $169 slp timing set comes with the rolon chain or jwis.

That is correct. Most Rollmaster doubles have the Rolon chain.

And the JWIS is the chain used in the C5R engine according to HME.
