Rejetting of carbs

Does anyone have either experience or knowledge of the size of jets the VTR carbs would need when fitting an aftermarket exhaust system and high flow air filter?.

2 into 1 exhaust system on the Firestorm

Re: The dead zone

Was out on my storm today in a warm 13°C in Aberdeen,which is an incredible temperature for spring up here,let alone winter,but still looking forward to spring so long as today's temperature won't be a trade off against lower spring temperatures.
