Not you hahaha I should've quoted him. My best advice is have someone else ride it to see if they also feel it. You aren't getting a shake when you let off the bars right?

My low rider does this too, and got more noticeable when i swapped the giant stock pipe for the smaller lighter vance and hines short shots. I chalk it up to a weight difference on the left side of the bike. I wouldn't be very concerned with it honestly, i think its just how the bike is.

How tight do you grip the bars? If it's really pulling both under throttle and while coasting, I would just try shifting your weight and if that solves it then it narrows down the field.

Some dress to the left, others right....

Seriously though go to your dealer, my guess is your rear wheel is out of alignment.

Very possible; new doesn't mean correctly aligned.

wright111, think of the Dyna in two separate sections when it comes to how the Dyna is held in alignment. The frame, fuel tank, front forks and front wheel are one section, and the engine, transmission, primary, rear fork, and rear wheel are another connected together by the front and rear isolators with a stabilizer at the top.

The Dyna will live and die by its vehicle/engine alignment; have it checked, just to be sure. To do the alignment procedure is not a difficult process, if you buy the service manual it's all spelled out and a properly aligned Dyna is a very happy Dyna
