Hey there. Nice bike, and nice humor.
Congrats on your sync. They can be fun. To your pondering of it potentially running rich, getting the fuel to air ratio correct should fix that. While syncing the carbs is an absolute must, it doesn't correct a lean/rich condition. But you have taken a giant step in getting the bike the way you want it.

Is there a specific tool used to read the air fuel ratio? Also how is the mixture adjusted on these? I know its something in the carburetor. Please excuse my inexperience. I'm very new to carburetors since my cars and bikes have all been EFI.

There is a way to have a tool read the specific ratio, but that is beyond what almost everyone does as it requires modifying your exhaust and the purchase of a specialty tool.
Basically what you are doing is adjusting the pilot screw inward/outward until the proper air/fuel mixture is achieved.
For you need a few things. The pilot screw has a D-shaped head so you will need a tool specifically for that. Also, a good tach. The one on your bike isn't fine grained enough. And you will need a manual, like the factory service manual, or Haynes or Clymer. My personal fav is the factory service manual. But the others will get the job done.
Also, there are tons of threads on here and how-to videos on Youtube that will get you going.
One important thing to remember, all the settings in the manual are for stock setups. Looking at your pic, you an aftermarket exhaust. All that means is you may need to adjust your other jets to get things done 100% properly. I would look on this forum for your specific bike year and model and see if anyone else has the same setup as you. That will give you a head start.

Right! When he told me $250 I had a pause where my brain was trying to process how it could possibly be that cheap. I couldn't believe it was a half decent cycle when I showed up to look at it.

So the other day I bought a partial set of chinese fairings off ebay. Unfortunately the tail pieces both broke during shipment (terrible packaging) but its minor and I think they're repairable. I was refunded for those pieces so all in all I got 2/3 of a fairing kit for $150. Im planning to repair/repaint the nose fairing and gas tank so they match what I purchased. These are the times when going to a technical school for autobody and putting in a few years in the field finally pays off. I will also be pulling the carbs.. again.. to make some corrections to the pilot screws. I registered and took it out for the first real ride the other day and confirmed that the adjustments are necessary. I also purchased another petcock to replace the leaky one on the bike. Anyone know if petcocks can be DIY rebuilt?
