Default FLHR Idling problem

First let me describe the bike.

2007 FLHR 96 cid
KN Full Flow AF with Wild Pigs Slip on Mufflers
Vance and Hines FuelPak

Upon installing all of the above extras, I found a problem after warmup. When I come to a light or decel to a stop, the bike wants to die. Once, it did cut out. I checked with V and H about the issue, they gave me new numbers to plug in. It helped but still has the issue. Sounds to me like it runs too lean. The plugs show a lean running condition (ashy). My pipes are keeping a good color. I tried to email V and H again and they said this situation is normal and I need to chill.
I'm a mechanic by trade. Any info is appreciated.
Does anyone know(and willing to tell) what the numbers mean?
