This isn't the first time I've been wrong, and it won't be the last. Glad you got it working!

Does the idle issue persist after you've been riding around for 5-10 minutes? If it's just an issue with cold starts then it's not too abnormal (as long as you can keep it running with the choke, that is). If it happens even after the bike warms up then the carburetor bowls may not be filling up with enough gas, or gas may not be flowing to them quickly enough.

At this point it sounds like you've checked an re-checked the carbs a million times, so you've probably already checked the float height. Do you have an inline filter on the fuel line? Maybe it's got some crud stuck in it. Alternately, you might have some stuff stuck in the super-secret stock inline filter (about halfway down the page)
