Default Sportster too lean

My '95 Sportster has 5000 miles and is completely stock..Running too lean like everyone one else's from what I read...Drilled to get at the idle mixture screw..Now out about 2 1/2 turns...Doing so, it got a little better...Still stumbles at low rpm's in every gear...Crank the throttle and it runs great...Any suggestions for what's next? Needle?
