Default Wide glide running rich (I think)

I have a 2012 wide glide I just purchased (3 weeks ago). As far as I can tell there is no aftermarket fuel management installed. I have a hyper charger and cobra slip on exhaust. I am getting really crappy MPG like 20 and I fouled a plug in the front cylinder the other day also I have a lot of black soot coming out the exhaust. It is under warranty and going to the dealer ship on Monday.

Other than the soot and crappy MPG everything seems to be normal.Any suggestion on what could be the cause would be appreciated.

May be a munted injector that is dribbling fuel or a burnt out valve seat. If you change pipes and air cleaner without a fuel management system bad things can happen to valves.
