I just bought this 79 Suzuki GS1000L the other day and I decided Im going to make a bobber out of it. I removed the carbs and took the lower bowls off and they were completely full of gunk so I cleaned them up, but I will definetly have to replace the gaskets, jets, etc. So....... my question is, if I put the four air pod filters on and leave the mufflers off, what kind of jet kit would I need? Thanks for the help!

You haven't gone far enough - you need to strip the carbs down and dip them

Then, you can jet it up about 4 sizes to start

I didnt rip the carbs down too far quite yet, but I do know that I have some pretty serious cleaning to do. I was hoping someone could send me a link or point me in the direction on where to get the correct carb kits without breaking the bank.
 
Can of Berryman's Carb Cleaner Dip from your local Auto Zone. About $20.

The previously-mentioned o-ring kit should be accompanied by o-rings for the intake tubes and stainless bolts to hold the tubes with the new o-rings. Less than $25 for all.

I have not purchased one, but I understand the jet kit is in the neighborhood of $100+

You won't need "carb kits" or a Dynojet kit

Just dip them, new O rings and jet accordingly.

VM carbs don't need Dynojet kits like the BS (CV) carbs do

Jets from Z1 or www.jetsrus.com
 
It can be done but the stock needles are shaped wrong for the modifications and very difficult to get dialed in. The DJ jet kit is specifically designed for these modifications.
