Idle speed changes

BD,

I have an idle problem (maybe) that I hope you can help me with. I have an '06 with under 3K miles. I've added the V&H baggers, Fi2000R and Thunder air kit. The bike starts with the choke on very nicely. The choke fast idle works fine. After the motor warms up for a few minutes and I take off the choke, the bike idles at extremely low rpm. It stays that way for about 15 to 20 min on riding. I've been upping the idle screw to make it idle better but it's nearly bottomed out.

After riding for about 20 min., the motor idles way too fast. I usually unscrew the idle screw a bit and then it idles ok.

Is this normal?

Thanks,

Tomk
