I'm planning on switching to a 530 chain on my KZ900 this spring. Could someone tell me if I need a spacer on the front sprocket and how many links will I need? Also how many teeth front and back for all around riding?

I've got a 630 chain on there now. Not sure what size sprockets.... I imagine they're probably stock. The bike's a 76.

I just bought this setup from Z1E for $203.00 delivered
It includes 2 spacer washers , a lock washer and a split master link.
This setup is very close to the stock ratio for my 78 1000, just a slight increase in rpm's
Not sure if I'll need any spacers yet but they are dirt cheap so I got a couple
