I put the TORs on my otherwise stock Legend -00.
A/F screws are out about 3 turns and when it is warm it answers the throttle good, but the right hand side cylinder does not get as hot as the other two, it takes a while. I will sync the carbs, but it runs good.
I drove it with the other mufflers then the cylinders where equally hot, since I switched to TOR´s and rode it it was 3 days, so I do not think the carbs are fouled.

Could it be that the A/F screw on the right cylinder isn´t exactly as the other two?
Think it´s too soon to pull the new plugs to check, just wanna know if it is something to worry about.

Doesn't sound like you are noticing something dramatic. And its hard to really tell how much hotter/cooler 1 cylinder is from another. Ride the thing. Do pull and compare the outer plugs (the easy ones) if you're worried, then get on with enjoying your machine.

Found a post that may also be of use.

with my broken foot, have all day to scan the old files. Here is a comment on the settings being different between the cylinders.

Come to any conclusions?

Nothing yet, the links you provided does not work.
I talked to a local Triumph dealer and I am going to let them adjust the valves and sync the carburettors and then put in larger mains and adjust the mixture screws with a gas analyser, all this will no cost more than about 300$.

When it comes to TOR´s and otherwise stock airfilter etc, they usually put in 102,5 mains and 3 turns on the mixture screws, according to them they run fine after that.
