is it acceptable? or I'm lean?

hi. I'm afraid that my carbs are on the lean side and I don't want that obviously!
My setup is: K&N Lunchbox, Leo Vince SBK pipe (stock headers and midpipe), and DJ Kit stage 1 with largest main jet provided (which is 132(DJ jets numbering is different from mikuni jets as far as I know)) needle on fifth notch.

Bike runs very well, I'd say very well! I checked the plugs after 90 miles trip and they were light in color (creamy but not white)
I run the bike (during that trip) on every gear on almost full range of RPM and there are no flat spots, no hesitation, no backfiring, nothing bad. Bike seems to run well in every gear.

I'll just add that before I got lunchbox and Leo Vince I had a flat spot on every gear between 5000-6000 RPMs(carbs were rich). Lunchbox fixed that problem but recently I installed Leo Vince and I want to make sure that this setup isn't lean and that it will not seize my motor...

Please hit me with your opinion and eventual recommendations
Thanks
