as far as offline your best bet is to look at the local dealer. or you can try one of the members who is a dealer for some chains and sprockets CBR Forum - Enthusiast forums for Honda CBR Owners - Announcements in Forum : General anyways hope that helps a little.

when I did my replacements - I couldn't find a place that had everything I wanted in one spot - so I did a strong 520 chain - EK MVXZ (gold) $113 from Moto-Heaven.
I got a steel rear sprocket from Denins Kirk - Parts Unlimited brand - 43T - $29
I bought a 14 T 520 Vortex steel front sprocket from Orient express (only place that had it in stock) for $33 - Vortex part# 3272-14.
So that's $175 for a full set, the way I wanted it - add a little shipping in here or there. I think I paid $5 somewhere for a rivet style master link since I didn't want a clip style. I also did my master link in black on the gold chain, that way it is easy to locate and inspect for any wierdness.

Good advice.
They do make 520 chains strong enough for liter bikes actually... the only problem is that they develop stiff spots sooner than 525/530 chains, etc etc etc.
Definitely only go steel on a rear sprocket if you're running a street bike. The difference is negligible to all but the most suicidal of street riders, and the wear is significantly higher. At the track is a different story.
