Hello, I have a 2014 wide glide. Throughout this summer I've noticed that I have to turn my handlebars slightly to the right in order to make the bike track straight. I can notice the front end is in fact turned based on the difference in distance between the top tree and the gas tank on either side. Has anyone had this issue before and know any starting points in troubleshooting this issue.

 

When I had my 2007 XL1200C repaired they screwed up and my front end was not straight.
my friend told me to loosen it and when I did it popped in straight. So I just tightened it back up to spec with the blue loctite.
My guess is the same thing happened to you.
You may not be as lucky to have to straighten out that easy but I would loosen the pinch bolts on the triple tress and try to tweek it in yourself.
You can hold the front wheel between your legs and give the front end a twist in the right direction.
Worked for me.

 

Thanks man....I did notice that one of my fork tubes is about a 1/16th of an inch higher than the other one (above the top tree) thanks again, I'm gonna try this suggestion tonight. ..

 

THIS is a problem. Fix this, then do what he explained.

 

Cool thanks. I've corrected the fork tube issue. I just have to wait till the morning to try it out.

 

Adjust the rear tire until the belt rides in the center of the sprocket while spinning it on a jack--- poor man's alignment--- make sure you keep the belt tension correct when doing this. If all else is correct, the bike will go straight

 

Didn't read the thread but, I can't believe that member name was even available. Just sayin.

 

Last night I loosened the four pinch points on the fork tubes and gave the front end a shimmy. Ths corrected the 1/16th inch offset in the tubes. However today the front end issue is still present. .fak... so does mean it must be an issue with the rear wheel alignment, or maybe the rubber mounting alignment?

 

I guess the next thing would be to check the rear wheel alignment.
Easy enough. They make a tool for that but you can use mechanics wire to check the distance from the center of the swing arm to the center of the axle nuts on each side.
After that if there is nothing found to be wrong I would have the stealer you purchased it from check the frame alignment.

 

Cool...thanks again
