I'm not sure what the 95 softails have for a carb but if it's a khien(sp) CV carb there is a small brass plug behind the float bowl under the carb. This plug will need to be drilled or popped out underneath there is a small mixture screw. Turn in to lean out mixture and out (counterclockwise) to richen. If it's really rich I is oils go half turn then ride it a while to get it at normal temp. Check the plugs and go another half turn if you have to. You may need to take the carb off to remove the plug
