I'm pretty sure it's a big no-no to run one of those old style clip master links on a modern sport bike, especially a powerfull bike like a Daytona. I, too, ran them for years on old Harleys and Triumphs but I don't anymore.
Every modern o-ring or x-ring chain that I have bought in the past several years came with a rivet style master link. These chains are meant to be connected with a riveted master link.
Two separate tools are needed to correctly fit a rivet master link. One is a side plate press on tool, the other tool peens the pins of the master link. Motion Pro and Triumph both have nice chain tool sets. If you don't want to do it yourself, fit the new chain with an old style clip master link, ride easy to your local bike shop and have them fit a correct riveted master link.
