I mostly just added mine to Thumper's separate post on the subject and then have other build photos and details on my own post.
The safest chain size to recommend without knowing what sprocket sizes people are changing to would be the 120 link RK SO chain.

Tires I have not worn my factory OEM knobbies out yet. I had originally planned for 70/30 Shinko 705 Series Dual Sport Tires for a name brand tire. For a cheap no name tire from Amazon I don't know, I have not studied any of the off-brand tires yet.

I've run Shinko 705's on my Suzuki V Strom 1000 for years. Great tire on the road, but I'd steer clear if you plan on riding dirt much. Kenda K761 is great on small bikes if you ride a lot of pavement, Shinko 700 if you're planning on a little more dirt. I've run them both at some point. My Templar will be heavily dirt biased, so I'll likely put Tusk D Sports on mine soon. I really like Dunlop D606's, but they don't last long at all. D Sports aren't bad, a little greasy on the street-but they last for a while.
