Default Chain Sizing?

Does anyone have a link to a chain sizing chart that can be used to figure out how many links are required when changing sprockets? I could have sworn Rocky Mountain had one on their site for the KLX300 and you could order a complete kit of front and rear sprockets and the appropriate chain. Now it appears that they only have stock lengths in their kits. I'm aware that the 300 front sprocket wouldn't work, I'd just put it on e-bay for a few bucks after.

14/49 - 110 links

Sometimes a chain won't come in the exact length you want. I had to cut a 120 link chain down to 110

Oddly enough I just got my RMATVMC 2008 catalog and they have the same thing in there, go up 2 teeth, add 2 links. Thanks fellas.
