Re: carbs. What have I done?

I have not had a chance to get back to this, but have done some research and it seems the carb I have is off a 350 Enfield (AMAL 367 /29c). From what I can gather this has a smaller bore (1 inch), than the VH500 needs. So this may explain why I was having concerns about the top end performance (i.e. inability to cruise at speed).
So before I strip and change all the gaskets, needle and needle jet on my carburetor - I need to make a decision on whether to seek out a slightly bigger carb and set that one up instead.
So.....
Any suggestions on what I should be looking to fit - is the 1" OK, should I look for a 1 1/16", is there a better alternative to the Amal 376?
Thanks in advance....
