2006 FLH correct idle rpm?

I have the following installed on my 06 electra glide:

Jet Kit (kevin)
HD S.E. air filter kit
Breather Kit
Rinehart slip-on mufflers.

Whats the correct idle rpm (warm engine).
Right now it idles 900-1000 rpm.

Thanks,
Robert

Robert, it is bang on the button! Around 950rpm is just right AFAIK.

950 to 1050 is it's normal idle RPM range for a twin cam. some folks turn them down to get that "HD" sound but IMHO on a twin cam, that is bad news for your engine since your oil pressure drops accordingly.
