Here's another good site by a guy trying different main jets after installing pod filters.
He went with #120 (Mikuni 100/604) in the end, after trying #117.5 and #122.5.

My Jetting trials and tribulations:
Well, after like 3 years of only being fired up once, I went with #120's according to what I'd seen around the Net. I've got pod filters on it and am running only the headers as an exhaust. I figured air flow is going to be a hell of a lot higher, but thought jumping from #97.5 to #122 was pretty extreme - hell, I'm worried #120 might be a bit too much.
I finally got her to start up and it barely idled. Ran like shit, with a massive lag in throttle response - meaning a little twist and it jumped up the R's like I was just dumping gasoline into cylinders. It was popping and swearing and generally not having a good time. I need to get the wheels back on it and get it out into the open so I can take a better look at it. I'll get that done tomorrow. (Finally got the wheel bearings all installed today.)
I'll post more details of how this go as I work on it.
