FXFB front end weirdness
Hey guys, my 2018 Fat Bob with around 6k miles recently started to want to lean a little when going straight, mostly to the left. I thought this could be due to low tire pressure, although I’ve hit 3 different pumps, with cold tires, and it reads 36 psi, which is what I’ve always had it at. Also, it sort of feels like the front end is lighter, almost skipping around.
I tried adjusting the suspension preload as well, with no changes. Thread wear looks ok, and I couldn’t find any bubbles or anything like that in the tires. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks! From reading that I think my issue could be different since it feels more like a sudden push on the handlebars to the left at random situations, not a steady lean. And tried to check alignment without a stand, with a friend holding up the bike, but no reliable results.
And anyhow, when I was riding back from work this Thursday I pressed on the rear brake and it gave in 2-3 inches further than normal before working... so I’ll take her in to the dealership this week
