When I did the carbs in my v45, I had a really high idle. Turns out you need to "bench sync" the flaps on the carbs. Idle speed is controlled by the flaps that used to be choke plates on older carbs.
I used the wire from a honda carb cleaning tool for the 40 sized jets. I then set the opening of each flap to just allow that wire to slide in and out, kinda like a feeler gauge and valves. Once all 4 were set to that, my idle issue cleared right up.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
