Every bike is different but I figured if I have all these mods and have only moved up 1 main jet size and 1 pilot size you may run to rich if you mess with the jetting. Have you tried adding some small washers to the carb needles? That helps with flat spots in the higher revs (7.5k-12.5k)

*disclaimer: my bike could very well be running lean but the way she runs and the color of the plugs says shes okay* just figured I'd throw my .02 in for reference. Best of luck!
Thanks for the intel. Maybe I'll just leave it stock. Sounds like it isn't that far off. A couple of other modern carb bikes I've had (especially the Triumph Thruxton 900) ran massively better with some small changes from original.
