Default Crooked front end?

Any one notice the 2011 wide glide front end tilts to right as you drive straight?

sounds like it needs a tweak(straddle front wheel and give the handlebars a twist in the rite direction),, kinda like a dirt bike

Check your rear tire alignment! Sounds like the bike is not tracking straight.

Take your wallet out of your back pocket. It's making you lean.

Might be easier if he loosened the fork clamps before tweaking them. Or, perhaps it's his risers that are twisted, the same technique applies here. Loosen the riser bolts and the handlebar clamps and retorque when straight.

Update:

Took it back to Harley told them The Tube heights were different and the trees were tilted to right when going straight, ther had to rebuild the front end, fork kit because it was leakin, main bearing set. it's straight now.
