check out the DOHC carb cleaning thread.  Should be easy to find with a search.  Lots more info in that than I can type out here.

Congrats on the purchase

One word of advice for a cafe build - don't run pods unless you're okay with poor performance and/or a shit ton of work.  Only way to really get pods to run well on the DOHC's is to buy different carbs which may cost you more than you paid for the bike.
