That's called the "Hodge Mod" (after the guy who first did it on the 750.com website, back in the 90s). It's usually done in conjunction with the Radio Shack fuel jet washer mod (so named for shimming fuel jets in each carb with two #4 washers from Radio Shack).
Those who've done both, swear by the improved performance. The claim of more power is mostly anecdotal since, as far as I know, there are no dyno comparisons to back it up. But the chatter indicates it does seem to improve driveability throughout the throttle range (improved air-fuel ratio, no off-idle stumble, faster warmup, less choke required, a little more exhaust growl, etc.). So better perceived responsiveness, yes. More power, not neccessarily. But seems worthwhile and it's cheap and easy. Documentation here, if the site's still up.
