Bil,
The correct length is 108 links.  As for the sprockets, I believe they 
switched from the 18t to 19t in either 2000 or 2001.  So if you want 
stock sizes, you need 19/43.  The best source for the front sprocket is 
still Triumph, as they have the rubber damper built into theirs.  I 
don't know if any other manu. makes the front sprocket that way.  I'm of 
no help for rear sprocket though, as I haven't changed mine yet.  So I'm 
listening for suppliers as well...
