Default How does this idle sound?

This is a new to me bike that I purchased knowing it had idle issues. After getting everything sorted out, here is what I end up with.

Just for my piece of mind, let me know what you guys think about this idle. I've heard if it sounds uneven its probably normal, but this is my first Harley and I'm not sure how much unevenness is normal.


Later,

Thanks guys. I was pretty sure it was normal, but all my non-Harley friends had me doubting myself.
