Default Help with '05 1200C dying at idle.

I just picked up an '05 1200C with 3,000 miles. Well cared for, but dies out at idle. It has a Screamin Eagle air filter kit on it, along with drag pipe slip-ons. When the choke is pulled, at half-choke, and at higher RPM's, it runs fine. My minimally educated guess is that it needs a Stage 1 carb kit , or at minimum a larger pilot jet in the carb, but for sure not an expert in this arena. Any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated!!!

Got it licked. New pilot jet did the trick.
