stock superglide,add xied and synthetic oil ,drop the temp a little,plus you add a little more fuel.add a k and n stock filter a little more air.this combo should give you a little more hp.a cooler running engine.and be cost effective.not looking for alot of hp.or torque.just trying to smoth it out and cool it off a little-------------comments welcome

That's a very good start, and you will definitely feel the improved throttle response with the Xied's. That configuration will work great till you add better exhaust, and if you're like many of us on this forum it will be sooner rather than later. 
Once you open up the airflow at both ends (intake and exhaust) you'll want to add better fuel management, even if you don't plan to do cams and/or head work. There are a few good options, and most have a devout following here.
I started out exactly where you are now, thinking that a little better is good enough. Thanks to all the bastiches here (or maybe my inability to settle for good enough) I now have a set of Xieds and rush slip-ons growing dust. Gotta say though, I'm real happy with the way my bike is running with the SE air cleaner, Supertrapp 2:1, and PCIII.

If I may...it sounds like you're making a statement on what you plan to do, rather than asking a question regarding the options you've chosen. Not sure what to say. It's your bike, do with it what you want.

What you need to remember about the xied's is that they are closed loop devices. They change the signal from the o2 sensors to make the ecu think it is running at 14.7 when it is really running a little richer during closed loop. During hard acceleration, the ecu doesn't use the o2's to calculate fuel. The newer models probably adapt enough to compensate to breather and exhaust changes. The xieds seem to be a good product for what they are intended to do, but I think some people assume they will fix a lean condition during wide open throttle when your engine is at the most risk.
