If you are too rich on the low end you can adjust the mixture with the pilot screws. They are usually covered with sheet metal covers but are easily removed.
I thought the honda 500 was water cooled. In which case 95% of the cooling is through the radiator and probably one cylinder doesn't run much hotter than the other.
I think you probably have some tuning to do. Perhaps using a O2 sensor or EGT if you need the tools.
I have a Virago 700 that is mechanically stock except for the carbs. I made my own single carb manifold and run a dirt bike carb on it. All the tuning jets are available from most any dealer or Sudco.
