Guardrailjim gave you a good answer,
HD put in smaller carburetor jets, and have pretty much choked
off the air intake, I had the same problem on my Sportster
so I put in a new jet and purchase a high flow air kit, no more
problems.
I also have an Electra-Glide but it is injected so does not
have that problem.

Running to lean at idle when de-accelerating. Honda put an "air cut-off valve" on some of their bikes because of that symptom.
Locate the idle mixture screw (not the idle screw). Turn it out (counter-clockwise to richen it up) 1/4 turn increments until you get the desired results.
