These days...."replace everything" (all jets, needles included) is becoming the accepted norm. Brainwashing the lazy with a convenient, easy "solution" to carb "cleaning".
The Far East copy kits containing brass jets and needles are notorious for both wrong parts and improperly sized jets and/or float valves. The companies maximizing their applications (profits) , with near generic fitment. They are NOT using genuine Keihin components unless specifying.
I'm a proponent of properly *cleaning your proper factory jets*. Unless the heads are mauled, there is no reason to replace them. If you DO replace them, use Keihin in correct size.
Otherwise, carb refurb parts needs are minimal....bowl oring (gasket), pilot screw orings, float valves, fuel and vent rail orings (if splitting). What IS needed is employing of correct, efficient methods to clear circuits, followed by careful setup and wet testing prior to replacing the carbs back on the bike.
As these bikes are getting old, splitting and replacing rail rings is advisable.
They do flatten, harden, corrode and leak, as we read about frequently here.
I keep the required, reliable, proven stuff in stock always, OP is welcome to PM.
