New to me dyna super glide custom
So I haven't ridden in about 15 years. I got the itch again so I bought this super glide. I bought it because it fits and it's comfortable. I'm 6' 215 with 34" inseam. It came with forward controls and a tallboy seat, I can actually stretch my legs. Anyway I'm coming up with an issue with slow right hand turns. I make the super glide go straight sometimes even with my head turned and feathering the clutch and applying pressure to the rear brake for stability. My left not an issue at all. So I'm wondering am I not holding my elbows in enough or not enough lean? I've been doing some parking lot practice and I still got a bit to relearn. I'm great on the road in tight bends going right and long sweeps going right. But it's super important to me have my slow speed driving down. The Oregon MSF left a lot to be desired as far as techniques. Plus I was on a 250 Suzuki cramping my hip flexor the whole time doing it there.

First off, great looking bike.
I tend to do the same, I think it's because your throttle hand is low and at an angle and your brain is fighting it. Elbow is always out when I do it so I consciously pull in to my ribs like in a straitjacket, and it helps.
Gotta shift your weight to the high side too.
Just practice in a parking lot, it will come back.
Shiny side up.
