I used the Dynojet kit and it seemed to work great on my 1981 550 D1 (gpz). I bought the kit because I went to UNI pods. I also have a Kerker K-series canister with 4-1 pipe.
I've gone through several combinations of filters, carb kits, and exhausts, and different main jets. I re-did the jetting for each setup. My favorite combination is probably Kerker with airbox. It gives a little more puch off the line than the pods. The pods may give better top-end on the highway, but I live in a city so the nearest open stretch of highway is at least an hour away.
The stock mains are 94. The Dynojet kit came with 98 mains and a new needle. The needle is longer with a little less taper. The starting diameter is the same.
The stock needle would have to move more than the equivalent of a shim to be similar to the Dynojet needle. It would probably need two shims. If you can get the Kawasaki 4D93 needle, that would work well. It's the same as the stock needle, but has 5 notches for adjustment.
Neilage, I would think 102 would be too big for the D1 motor, but you probably need it to compensate for the midrange lean condition since you can't raise the needle.
I always get a medium to dark tan color on my plugs.
