78 KZ650 cam and carb swap

I currently have a stock 650 engine with 22mm carbs. I am running a V&H 4-1 pipe with no baffle, just end cap and stock airbox with K&N filter. I am about to swap to some 750 cams and a set of 24mm carbs. Just curious about what I should run for jetting? Thanks

Check out the KZ650 historic race bike thread in the racing section to get you started..... maybe a search too. His jetting is probably closer to what you need than mine with maybe 110 or 112.5 mains. Think about a comp baffle for your pipe might run better with it.
