If you increase your ride height you need a roller to stop the chain from chewing the swingarm.

I bought the chain roller from Hiperform. Trust me, if you buy this one it is a no brainer for install. Take the two stock bolts out, and screw in the chain roller with the new longer bolts that come with the kit. As for the longer chain, not sure?? I installed my chain roller after installing a 520 conversion set up. I had to use the longer chain since I went with 2 more teeth in the back. It does make for a sweeter launch, but higher revs on the freeway.

Thanks for the info Bill. I have been looking for a roller that might last longer than the one I currenly pick up for my setup.
So which one do I need to get if I am buying the Old man Gene bracket?

There's only really two choices.. besides color... 34mm and 38mm... I can't imagine there's any harm going with the wider one, but depending on the width of the chain, 34mm might be good enough.
