What type of pilot/idle jets do stock 1100 carbs use?

I took my carbs apart for a rebuild and I'm getting ready to rummage around for some pilot jets.  The jets that came out are the "non-bleed" type without the rows of holes down their length.  The bleed type with the holes would also fit, however. 
I think that the non-bleed type is correct, but there have been some other parts on this bike that weren't necessarily right, so I just wanted to make sure that the non-bleed type is indeed the correct type before I put everything back together.  Thanks.

I does not matter; those holes do not do anything but assist with cleaning. The seat of the jet seals it to the base it screws into and the threads seal the other side, the the is no "bleed" function happening.
