Good timing! I just replaced the chain and sprockets on my CB750 last week. I always use DID chains (never had a bad one) and prefer JT steel sprockets. I got everything at BikeBandit.com (which is where I got the last set 6 yrs. ago). I got the DID ProStreet VX525 and stock size sprockets for around $130.
The DID 525 X-ring chains come with a rivet type master link. On my last chain I used a clip link (which I've used for years), but when it came time to remove the chain, I found the clip was missing. There wasn't much danger of the chain coming apart, as I still had to do some serious prying to get the master link apart. Regardless, I opted for the rivet type link this time.
You'll need a good chain tool if you don't have one. Cycle Gear currently has a Stockton chain tool on sale for $40 (about 1/2 price) both online and in the store. It breaks, presses and rivets the master link. My last one went missing, so I picked a new one up last week. It works great as long as you're careful.
