Abstract: Given a homomorphism from a link group to a group, we introduce a $K_1$-class in another way, which is a generalization of the 1-variable Alexander polynomial. We compare the $K_1$-class with $K_1$-classes in cite{Nos} and with Reidemeister torsions. As a corollary, we show a relation to Reidemeister torsions of finite cyclic covering spaces, and show reciprocity in some senses.
