Did you install the larger pilot jets?
Are the carbs properly synced?
Did you get the vacumn slides installed correctly. Those Diaphragms are frail and easily damaged, which could cause a lot of problem.
Did you remove the carbs when you rejetted or do it on the bike. If you removed the carbs it is possible that you moved the idle speed raising it to 1500 RPM; But if you are hanging, you are lean.

I figured hanging=lean. Hence why I suspected a vacuum leak or something.
I did everything on the bike. Changed the jets to 112.5 as mentioned. Did it by dropping the fuel bowls and going up from under there so no messing with slides or idle function.
I didnt have to undo any of the hoses. The only ones I had to undo were the Kleen air ones. The 3 way T was replaced with a straight tube because the 3'rd direction went to the kleen air valve thinger under the tank. This tube led from carbs to the fuel petcock I believe. Anyways, I just eliminated the T and follwed the original route.
I understood syncing the carbs was not required, only suggested for OPTIMAL function.
