Nice! Congrats. Nothing quite like the feeling of overcoming a problem with one of these bikes on your own, even if you got some pointers. That's what this place is here for and what makes it great 
And to answer you question in your previous post about the pilot to needle transition. AFAIK there are no different slides with different cutaways but on the VM carbs you can tune the transition to be a bit smoother with the fuel and air screws. That's why I like tuning the VM carbs and find them easier to work with for mods because you have more control over the circuits on them.
With the CV type jet kits go a long way, but there are always compromises somewhere. The screws on those simply adjust the amount of a premixed air/fuel mix so they're IMO not as easy to smooth out any little hiccups.
But, the Jet kits pretty much get em as close as you can get, and for street riding that's close enough. I just get aggro over that little bit of bobbling you sometimes get on part throttle. If you tune it to where it takes the bike being fully warm go away, you have to wait on the bike to heat up. But if you tune it to where it goes away quickly, it will sometimes end up to wet when it does heat up. And couple that with ambient temp swings through out the day, it requires being accepting of a compromise, or sticking with the stock set up, which is ok, sometimes and for some bikes.... Etc etc
