Carb?

Ok, yes, non-HD. But a carb is a carb. And it is a V-Twin. So:
Possibly moving from sea-level to 5000ft Rocky Mtns area, which means going up to 12000ft on rides.
Wifes bone stock V-Star 1100 with carb. As we know stock bikes already run lean, so going to higher altitude will enrichen the mixture?
If I do nothing will that put it about where it "should" be?
If I change the A/C and exhaust what, if anything, will need to be done?

Are you changing the A/C and exhaust before or after you move to a higher elevation?

Wouldn't change it untill after the move and then only if needed. Was going to leave the bike stock as it is just her ride untill she gets her HD. But if we are re-jetting anyways I may just do it all at once.
