Default How to tell if she is running "Too" Lean?

I have just installed a Kury Corsair cleaner on my 04 1200XL and I can't tell if she is running too lean or not? There is a little poping on decel, but not bad. I re-jetted when I put the V&H sideshots on. If it is running lean, what easy steps are there to adjust? Are there any?

Thanks

check out your plugs if the color is bad so is the air mixture, look at your pipes
are they red when idle

lots of time when it is lean it will spit back thru the carb. It is pretty hard to tell by reading the plugs due to the gas these days. Even good plugs look like they are lean when in fact they are not. The best way is get an afr done on a dyno with air fuel sniffer.
