Default Cleaning up the carbs/rejetting

Following, yet again from my problems here, and having found it's going to cost me a bit at any garage, I've decided to just go ahead and drain my carbs and clean them out.

First things first: Tools: Socket/spanner set, pliers, screwdrivers, etc.. anything else?

Secondly: Am I taking the carb off, then I can do all the fiddly stuff indoors? or must it all be done on the bike?

I've fitted a CCC can, and removed the baffle. Since doing that, I've lost the poewr surge at around 6k, and it doesn't pull as well above about 6k.

Hence, I may as well rejet while I'm at it. I've got Catpoopman's instructions off the net but have a couple of questions:

Shiming the carbs: will it help, does it affect the mixture?

Where can I get the jets for rejetting. Is the procedure he states the same for UK bikes?

I basically decided, that if I didn't try, I'd always be scared of doing detailed work, so here goes. But I may need some help on the way.
