BS34s on my old KZ1000 - Need jetting specs!

I just got a set of BS34 carbs from a 97 police bike. They will replace the small carbs on my 78 kz1000. I'm pretty good at fine tuning jetting, but in this case I need to go a lot richer and I could use a start point. Jets can get pricey when you have to buy 4 every time you change! I think it's still got the stock (too lean) jets now. Here's my setup:

78 KZ1000
Stock engine internals
V&H drag racing pipe "sidewinder"
open velocity stacks
premium pump gas
warm, dry climate here in Sacramento
mostly ride at sea level, sometimes to 4,000 feet

Got any specs for me?

When I was running a 4-1 (no baffle) and pods, I used a 140 main and 42.5 pilot. Not sure how much difference the stacks would make vs. the pods.

yeah i still need to pull them apart, clean and check the current size. I'm sure they're too small though.

anybody else got some numbers? thanks!
