'07 DELUXE that leans to the right!
I've been told many times that I'm a trifle nuts, but I've got a really minor issue with my '07 Deluxe that maybe somebody can comment on.. -cause it's really bugging me. When I'm riding along, going in a straight direction, if I glance down at my handlebars, they are clearly cocked towards the right, even though I'm going dead straight. It's like, when I'm going straight, my left arm is ever so slightly pulled out more than my right arm. I thought I was imagining this, so when I came to stop the bike, if the bars are exactly straight, I can notice the wheel/front fenderis slightly pitched toward the left, because to get the bars straight, I have to pull the left grip back a hair. Overall the bike is flawless, and other than my being **** about it, I can't help but to be bugged by this.
I stopped at the dealer and his comment is that what I'm describing is all too common.. nota big deal. But it still bugs me! Can the front end be lined up? Has anyone else ever noted this? Any comeback would be appreciated!
Thanks,

I went to the dealer to get the same problem fix, they told me there is nothing wrong with the handle bars they are thight and they can't tell wy it's doing that, we actually compared it to the bike that they have on the floor it's the same thing so I gave up on it.

Mine was off straight as well, when I sat on thebike and lined the edge of thehandle bars up with the large nuts on top of the forks, you could see only half of one and over 3/4 of the other, the wheel seemed straight, just off from the risers up, took it to dealer, they claim they adjusted the risers and the handle bar clamp. Good now. They stated that the torque and sequence of tightening risers is very important.

Mine were off a tad and I adjusted them myself, tighten or loosen up the mounting bolts underneath, once you take a look at them you will see what I mean.

I yanked in the oppisite direction , their mounted in rubber or something , somtimes it gives enough to look. I actually had HD tech do it when i bought my bike and bitched about it. He grabbed it and yanked the oppisite way and it worked.
