33s are your best upgrade in the States

The 29 SB goes for crazy money = $600-1,000

carbs

will i need new intake boots?

[chuck hahn]

I am going with Todd...maybe just go up one size in jetting and tweek them in accordance to the pods or airbox...all BIGGER carbs really do is dump extra gs in that realt dosent need to be there...26 wil supply all youll ever need. Save the money and reinvest it into somethingb else the bike really needs and can use.

With the small port heads??? It's like adding a 780 cfm double-pumper carb to a 2 barrel 325 cfm intake on your car.
Perhaps with the later large port heads, but not with the heads currently on his bike.
Use the stock carbs or find a set of 29's.

That's British spec

You can tell by the red bike, not a US color

Basically, putting bigger carbs on requires a cam upgrade as well to best utilize the combo of mods and get some serious power

For a 4-1 and pods, the rejetted 26s are your best bet

The bike came with

main -95
pilot -15

You'll want to have something like

Main -120
Pilot -20
Raise the needles one notch
