2000 VFR new chain and sprockets - chain length and installation help please

I am about to buy the D.I.D 530VM X'ring Chain & Steel Sprocket Kit - HONDA VFR 800F1 98-01 from Sprocket Center and I am looking to go to a 45 tooth on the rear with the stock size front sprocket. Have you guys and gals used this kit? Opinions? How many links will my new chain need to be with the extra two rear teeth? How long does the chain come from Sprocket Center? I have never replaced my own chain and sprockets but would like to give it a shot. Any advice, tips, tricks would be appreciated. Do I need to purchase anything else or will it come with the master link and everything I need? Thanks in advance, Rob
