It depends upon how you are going to ride the bike. If you are going wot all the time, then a carb that is 2mm bigger than stock will be ideal. Just an old school mikuni will work fine. It is way too easy to over carburete a bike and is way to common for people to do.
If you want killer top end you can probably have dave miller or harry klemm or mossbarger do it. I had mossbarger port my 74 that I was vintage racing and I put a reed valve on it and pulled a holeshot in nearly every race in the vintage expert class in 1992/1993.
Also, if you are going to ride it wot in the heat or under heavy load like hill climbing in the sand etc, you should consider an aftermarket head. but you may need to have it modified to get the compression and/or squish band that is best for your app.
