Why would you? You could just use the old OEM brass parts that you have (I suppose). They hardly wear, if at all. Many advice to stay away from Keyster jets.

Three main jets seem to suggest the set covers all models. But only one needle set? F and K models had different shaped needles. 069A carbs (all CB550F models) have needle set 16012-390-004 with needles stamped in number 273004.
022A (CB550K/K1) and 087A (CB550K2 '76) carbs have needle set 16012-323-004 with needles stamped in number 272304. BTW, the latter are also in the 627B and 649A carbs that were on the CB500/K1/K2.
Maybe the seals are good enough, maybe...
You'll find many complaints in the international forum. Exactly what brass parts are worn in your carbs? Reason I ask: I've not replaced one (brass) part yet in my CB500 carbs. No wonder if you realise how little petrol all in all has passed (500cc fed by no less than four carbs. And mine so far served 130.000+ kms.

This shop seems reasonable priced, offering individual parts as well:
