I've done it.

I purchased a Dyna Jet kit for the carbs for about $125.00. The kit contains two sets of mains, weights for the slides and notched needles. The instructions suggest that you start with 96s for the mains. The stock jets are 110s. I presently have the 96s in use but I had to go to the sixth notch to get a proper mixture. The bike runs great but next time I pull the carbs I'll be installing the 100s and going back to the third notch.
Best of luck!

No the smaller jet flows less fuel. I followed the instructions from DynaJet. They suggested I start with the 96s and truly they worked, although at the sixth notch. I did fit a K&N oiled filter.
