do you think I'm running lean?
Picked up my new Heritage Classic a few weeks ago had the dealer put on the SE Air cleaner and Vance & Hines Pro pipe and to re-jet the carburator I thought they would do the air adjustment screw and both a low speed jet and main jet but all they did was put in a 46 low speed jet. But the bike runs Great Crack the throttle and no hesitation what so ever does not pop cough or nothing I have about 700 miles on it I havent tried to see what the top end speed was but I have had it wound up to 105 then backed off the throttle about an 1/8 turn no surging or belching or nothing Its hard to tell what my fuel milage is I've not been really running anything near steady been kind of up and down in all speeds The last tank was a pretty normal run fairly even at 60 to 70 miles an hour and i got like 42 mpg Do you guys think I'm running ok?
Thanks

There's no need to change the main jet. The stock bike only runs lean at part throttle, so the idle jet is all that needs to be modified on a basically stock bike. A lot of shops would rejet too big and kill your fuel mileage. As far as the idle, if it idles well, I guess it didn't need to be adjusted. I'd hesitate before I screwed up a great running bike by making it a dyno queen.
