CB550 cafe running lean?

Trying to keep out of trouble
So i got the cb550 running. as you can see it has Carpy headers and stacks as the airbox was gone when I purchased it. out on the freeway it gives me the impression that it has a lean surge. the shop that rebuilt the carbs for me told me the jets were not replaceable. If I were to drill out the jets who do I know which jets to go after to get the hi side?
Thanks guys, Peter
 
I know this post was a while ago. But I'm interested in seeing how you ended up setting up your jets. I have the same set up Carpy pipes with pods. Carpy recommended i switch to 120's which I did. Have been running on that set up for awhile and it runs well but is rich. And I also am not getting as much power as I think it should put out at high speeds. It takes a lot to get it to 70. Any insight appreciated
 
I bought a wire drill set and went one size up and took it for a ride. I would test and drill until it ran out without a stumble. It was running great but I sold it to a guy in Seattle and he hasn't stayed in touch so nothing else to report...
