By the way, I checked my secondary main jets and they are 125's. The primaries are 62's. The book says this is right.
So are we saying that pods simply won't work on these carbs with jetting changes alone? I've read posts where people disagree, but I can't seem to get any ballpark jet numbers.

You've got your heart set on cutting this bike up... How does it run now with stock air box and exhaust?
My 2 cents:
Drilling the exhaust and jets will set you back. A good 4-1 exhaust with performance baffle and pods might be worth some decent top end power. You'll need a stage 3 jet kit with adjustable needles and proper size jets. Will cost a few hundered bucks and will take a lot of test and tune to get it right. Anything short of this will likely yeild sub-stock performance.
I've been down the road of jet and exhast drilling in my younger days and no one was going to talk me out of it...

Well, I can't see paying a few hundred bucks for a handfull of jets and needles, even if they are gold plated.
The few hundred bucks inclueds a good 4-1 exhaust with performance baffle. This item will be responsible for most of your power gains IF the carbs are retuned correctly.
More importantly - How is the bike running now? That bike should get-up-and-go in stock form if it's in a proper state of tune.
Often, when an engine falls out of tune, guys start modifying parts rather than concentrating on re-tuning of the stock engine. This leads to all sorts of problems. Ask me how I know...
The cheapest route with the best result would be to figure out what's wrong with its current state of tune. This might cost nothing and you'll get considerable performance gains.
