Default Running Rich??

Hi Guys
I recently bought an 04 Fatboy with Hooker pipes, a forward facing K&N and its carbed. When I first got it the pipes were very loud mostly on the decel so i put in some baffles and that stopped the popping but it still sounds great. My problem is that the first three tanks Im only getting 28 mpg(220km
/138mi to reserve). I been doing some reading on here(great place by the way) so I pulled the plugs and it is definately running rich.. I have a manual on order but my question is .. is there enough adjustment with the screw or do I need to look at a smaller jet and would this all be caused by the baffles. Should I pull the baffles out and run it for a couple tanks to see what happens( neighbours might not like that)

Thanks
Cal
