Default Balanced ?

This is hopefully not such a dumb question . Is my 2012 Dyna balanced along its centre line or is there more weight on the left due to the substantial looking Primary Drive casing ? It's just something that bugs me when I'm riding in a straight line for long periods .

It`s only balanced when riding on roads in R.H.D. countries.
All bets are off in the U.K.

correct but...depending upon if you're in the southern or northern hemisphere will effect balance directly related to which side of the road you happen to be on in the given hemisphere. Kinda how it affects the direction your toilet bowl water swirls depending upon the hemisphere youre in. But seriously what little bit of weight difference there may be is located so low on the bike you're not going feel it. That's just my opinion based on riding my own bike.

Maybe a GBW on right bar.....

The bike is balanced. If you feel like it is not, your rear wheel may not be aligned properly. If the wheel is "cocked" slightly, the bike will pull or lean in one direction all the time. Get the FSM out and check the wheel alignment, easy process for piece of mind.
